Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Alicia I love this movie so much

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

A_Different_Drummer The hallmark of a true star is the ability to shine no matter what the setting. From her work as a young actress in Star Wars and The Professional, to the more mature work in Black Swan (wow) and Mr. Magorium, Portman has never allowed herself to get lost in a movie, and this one is no exception. Other reviewers have questioned the screenplay, the direction, the value of the allegory, and even the use of dialects. Don't care. I stumbled on this film by accident on Pay-Cable, and allowed Portman to take me a scenic tour of the Middle East. She was a great guide, using her own charisma to compensate for any failings in the film -- and, to be frank, there were few such failings over all. The writers had a simple story to tell and they told it. I also liked the sound track, a very effective use of music to counterpoint key scenes. Without Portman, a good film. With her, it is something better.

senorpescado as with some others such as Bordertown,Kite Runner,etc and this one, all arrogant ignorant xenophobic gringos should see it from any type of understanding of other peoples and culturesread 'The Haj' read EXODUS read The Koranbut most USA 'sheeples' have not a clue of this area of the world and the way it was portrayed in this picture looks how mine may be made basic, real time The Oyster Diver again most have no idea how food gets to your table or in this case, how peoples have been uprooted from their ancestral homesViva El Frente/Verde goggleirs......wejustdoit

Bernie157 Five of us sat in a room and watched this movie on DVD. At the end we discussed it somewhat. One woman seemed to get it but the rest of us did not.In fact I had "shpilkes" through the entire movie and wanted to suggest that at least my wife and I leave early on but I didn't want to disturb the others in case they were enjoying it (although I couldn't see how).We started viewing it without subtitles (sort of by accident) but part-way through the opening crying scene with unintelligible music, we decided to stop it and turn on subtitles thinking that perhaps the lyrics of the music would show up in the subtitles. No such luck so we sped through the crying scenes.In most respects I agree with most of the comments associated with low ratings and poor reviews. The double-exposure scenes were just annoying. The pouty-lipped Hannah seemed to be trying to "say" something but I didn't know what. The Palestinian lady seemed to take her time getting started participating in the movie.It went from scene to scene without much understanding on my part as to why. And finally at the end, at an Israeli checkpoint (I think), Rebecca (Portman) jumps out of the car and runs off lickety split with vehicles going after her with sirens blaring. Yet I don't know why she did try to run past security nor why she wasn't shot at.Huh?

batya Liso My husband and I waited for months to see this film of DVD and when we finally got it and watched it we were terribly disappointed. The film is about as shallow and politically loaded as watching an episode of Studio 60. The three main female leads are hollow, with the exception being Hannah Lazlo, but even her performance feels forced and 1-dimensional, as if someone told her ahead of time she'd win an award for taking on this role. Truthfully, the movie's start with Natalie Portman crying in a car and her mascara running down her face for 10 minutes to Chava Alberstein's Had Gadya wasn't a highlight either.Advice to those seeking a good, emotionally charged, culturally deeper Israeli film: Broken Wings.
