      Robert Abele Los Angeles Times Watching these sturdy carriers of suffering inevitably argue, your spirits may sink. But you also can't help but notice that the rocky terrain requires them at times to hold on to each other. Oct 27, 2016 Full Review Sheri Linden Hollywood Reporter A thoughtful lesson in history - and listening. Sep 23, 2016 Full Review Ella Taylor NPR The Ruins of Lifta offers a muscular example of ability of documentaries to make the political intensely personal. More painfully, it's also a case study in the limits of benign intention. Sep 22, 2016 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Not as powerful as Promises, as shocking as Budrus or as extensive as The Settlers, but but at least it humanizes the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and helps to promote intellectual discussion. Rated: 7.65/10 Sep 24, 2016 Full Review Nora Lee Mandel Film-Forward.com Though sometimes infuriatingly nave and myopic, documentary finally succeeds by opening up some space for honest dialogue. Rated: 6/10 Sep 23, 2016 Full Review Louis Proyect rec.arts.movies.reviews Although in many ways an unrealizable project, Menachem Daum's attempt at reconciliation with Palestinians is a reminder that Jewish ethics is not necessarily a contradiction in terms when it comes to Israel.
