Bethlehem tells the story of the unlikely bond between Razi, an Israeli secret service officer, and his Palestinian informant Sanfur, the younger brother of a senior Palestinian militant. Razi recruited Sanfur when he was just 15, and developed a very close, almost fatherly relationship to him. Now 17, Sanfur tries to navigate between Razi’s demands and his loyalty to his brother, living a double life and lying to both men.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Bethlehem's plot is nothing new; it's the oft-told Cain and Abel story updated for the age of suicide bombers and tactical strikes, as a tautly structured mix of melodrama and ticking-clock thriller.
– Liam Lacey,
Globe and Mail,
4 Apr 2014
fresh:
Cinematographer Yaron Scharf shoots Bethlehem like a modern western, every grimace, twitch and drop of sweat playing in stark relief against an implacable landscape that has seen much spilled blood.
– Peter Howell,
Toronto Star,
4 Apr 2014
fresh:
The politics of "Bethlehem" are complex, but the relationship at its heart is simple: a kid who needs some kind of stability in his life, even if it comes from a most unlikely, and dangerous, place.
– Bill Goodykoontz,
Arizona Republic,
27 Mar 2014
fresh:
A rich, multilayered character study cleverly garbed as an action thriller, Bethlehem is a searing critique of the conflict and its toll - not just in human lives, but also in two peoples' gradual, overall loss of humanity.
– Tirdad Derakhshani,
Philadelphia Inquirer,
21 Mar 2014
fresh:
Bethlehem remains a fairly powerful experience because so much of what we see is inflamed by a violence that seems to have no end.
