Top Critics Reviews

Good intentions often make bad movies.

rotten:
The filmmakers split time between history and personal drama in ways that do full service to neither.

rotten:
Its heart firmly in the right place, O Jerusalem proves an uneasy mix of history and fiction.
– Joshua Land,

rotten:
In trying to be sensitive to such a controversial issue, O Jerusalem glazes over important events settling for mediocrity while giving a history lesson more appropriate for high school.

rotten:
It aspires to be an epic drama but suffers from an acute identity crisis: It can't decide if it wants to be history, drama, or a cry for peace in the Mideast.
