10/10
One of the best of Shemi
26 August 2015
We rarely see a composition so eloquently and delicately compiled from all the most warn-out clichés made into a beautiful and touching film. I loved everything about it, from the wonderful collection of actors, the shots, the transitions, the plot and the editing. The story of a person looking for a parent has been told before in other formats, but this time the obvious is taken out and the unexpected outcome leave the viewer wondering what each side of the story has gone through. Not obvious.

Rather bold is the sociopolitical dimension of the film, in which the inner structure of a family having three very diversely positioned siblings (a bitter young woman, a religious orthodox and a bisexual) is mounted on the outer layer of national diversity (Muslim-Jewish).

Best time spent in the theater I had for a long time.
