Is this worth watching?


Hi,

Is this movie worth watching? First impression that it more look likes a muslim propaganda movie or is it just me?

Greetings

Saw it and loved it. Didn't think of this as a propaganda piece - more of a tale of what it means to be trapped in a situation caused by the craziness on both sides. Not an action thriller by any means - a film that will make you think, more than push you to taking sides.

it's very good and not what you'd expect from the trailers.

reply

Yes definitely. In my opinion a lot better than 'The Great Beauty' - the film that won the Oscar.

I've seen the movie and it's no propaganda, no finger pointing, no judging. It's actually more a love story than a movie about Israel-Palestine conflict.

reply

Absolutely, a must see.

Definitely worth seeing; my husband and I just saw it and agree that it is better than The Great Beauty (which won and we also saw).
