Jordan Hoffman Times of Israel I suppose the basic truth of this film - that support of terrorism negates all shred of political virtue - is too powerful to ignore. Sep 26, 2017 Full Review 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 Dec 14, 2014 Full Review Donald Clarke 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. Rated: 3/5 Dec 13, 2014 Full Review D.W. Mault CineVue 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. Rated: 1/5 Apr 3, 2019 Full Review Steve Erickson 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. Feb 16, 2018 Full Review Paul Chambers Movie Chambers "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.
