Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Nominated for seven Israeli Academy Awards in 2008, the movie takes a completely apolitical look at the lives of its three main characters, focusing not on their differences but on how, in a way, they are trapped by their cultures.

rotten:
Israel seems to have its own form of prestige cinema, where tortured suicide bombers and rending intergenerational conflict signal what period costumes and booming accents might to American viewers.
– Michelle Orange,

rotten:
Likable but insubstantial.

fresh:
For My Father is a rarity indeed: A sweet, sentimental movie about a suicide bomber.

rotten:
Well-intentioned but philosophically timid, For My Father wants to meditate on the moral reshuffling that can accompany imminent death.
