Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
A rambling road movie with noble intentions and an excess of speechifying.
– Jeff Shannon,
Seattle Times,
29 Sep 2006
rotten:
A minor movie on a major subject, a drama with an almost unbearable lightness.
– Wesley Morris,
Boston Globe,

rotten:
The movie -- a metaphor for the tangled, impossible state of Israeli/Palestinian relations -- only intermittently clicks.
– Robert Denerstein,

rotten:
Without fail, Gitai's determination to churn everything into metaphoric mud prevails.
– Geoff Pevere,

rotten:
Too slight as a metaphor for the larger catastrophe of the Mideast, too preachy to work as an emotionally compelling drama.
