Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Eytan Fox depicts modern gay life and contemporary Tel Aviv with sympathy and knowing insight, and he excels at creating casual rapport among actors; yet in film after film he undermines these gifts with hamfisted melodramatic plotting.

"Yossi" has an air of lightness but never feels insignificant.

It's serious about its characters and their emotions, but still finds room for humor.

Yossi is an early spring breeze of a film - too delicate to be substantial but definitely holding the promise of warmth.

fresh:
Knoller is wonderful as the emotionally cut-off, yet vulnerable Yossi, who yearns for something more from life, but feels both terror at the prospect and unworthiness to claim it.
