Let It Be Morning (2021)

  • Others
  • 2021, Eran Kolirin, Israel
  • Leave a comment

A below-par effort by one of Israel’s established directors whose somewhat controversial film about a family trapped by a military lockdown of an Arab town in Israel has a great premise but suffers from an uninteresting execution. 

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 2.5 out of 5.

Incitement (2019)

  • 2019, Israel
  • Leave a comment

The mid-‘90s assassination of then Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin is radically told from the point-of-view of the assassin in this urgent and incisive sociopolitical-thriller about the dangers of holding extremist worldviews.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Synonyms (2019)

  • Leave a comment

At times frustrating to watch, this unorthodox work about national identity will impress and alienate in equal measure.

Not Mine to Love (1967)

  • 1967, Israel
  • Leave a comment

Accompanied by a low-key jazzy score, this is a light and sensual take on the complications of a past romance.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

3.5 stars

This delightful award-winning Israeli film scores with its unique portrayal of Palestinian-Israeli tensions, one that is marked by dramatic pretence and cold humour.
