"The Testament" is that sort of big movie, and concludes with an extra layer of buried poignancy. No, you actually haven't seen this story before.

Greenberg, whose previous output has primarily been for television, develops potentially fascinating storylines and characters in frustratingly two dimensional fashion.

The Testament is an intriguing mystery and a different kind of Holocaust tale, as well as a thoughtful exploration of the nature of identity.

The success of the The Testament rests on Ori's performance as Yoel, and in many cases, it works splendidly.

Thought it was an interesting storyline, exhibited the emotional baggage survivors of the holocaust faced decades after the atrocities that were committed. The personal battles involved were also powerful.

Excellent! Both educational and riveting! Not your typical Holocaust movie. Not by any measure. Well written and well acted!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

In his seethingly incendiary Israel-Austria production, a Jewish historian unearths more than Holocaust atrocities of war when an abrupt find of his mother's acquaintance startles his spiritual identity crisis and the moving truth of religion fidelity.
