Excellent depiction of a double agent's experience on both sides of the Israeli/ Palestinian wall. Eye opening with respect to the corruption on both sides.

I suppose the basic truth of this film - that support of terrorism negates all shred of political virtue - is too powerful to ignore.

Mark Kermode

Observer (UK)

It's a remarkable story, told with slick thriller flair, focusing increasingly on the interdependence of its subjects, who chose personal morality over political rhetoric, with isolating results.

Rated: 3/5

Irish Times

Schirman, a young Israeli film-maker, has gotten hold of an extraordinary espionage story and - how could he not? - turned it into an undeniably gripping documentary.

Here lies an intriguing story that calls to mind John Le Carré at his murky best, yet what we are given is the self justification and propaganda.

Gay City News

The truths "The Green Prince" reveals about family, friendship, and betrayal don't only matter on the West Bank and its artistry will live on even if peace between Israel and Hamas is eventually accomplished.

"The Green Prince" is a dramatized documentary based on Yousef's autobiography, "Son of Hamas." And, while I don't particularly care for reenactments, I do believe Israeli filmmaker Nadav Schirman did an excellent job of bringing Yousef's story to film.
