      Tim Grierson Screen International A passionate but uneven debut... Dec 19, 2023 Full Review Steve Pond TheWrap Ground zero here – for the characters, for the nations, for the filmmaker – is futility. Nabulsi drops us on that ground and doesn’t let us pretend it’s anything else. Dec 19, 2023 Full Review Namrata Joshi The New Indian Express Ultimately, it’s this imbalance of power and relative worth (or the lack of it) of human lives that is the font of Nabulsi’s creative anger that propels her film. Dec 19, 2023 Full Review Hanna Flint The New Arab As with her BAFTA-winning short, The Present, the filmmaker offers a bleak perspective on the political and social injustices experienced by Palestinians. Yet, even at its most desolate, both films are anchored by the humanising portraits at its core. Apr 22, 2024 Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest ...its ripple effects are drawn clearly to reverberate in an entirely different way well after the film ends, passing on a bit of hope instead of fear... Dec 20, 2023 Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse Even if a bit too much of the western view on the events, “The Teacher” emerges as a beautiful, meaningful film that shows quite accurately how the circle of violence is created and keeps erupting in the area.
