Leave your thoughts about 9 Star Hotel.
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxIn the end, Haar's powerful and terribly sad film speaks volumes, not just about life in contemporary Israel, but in the U.S. as well. |
| VarietyRonnie ScheibIn dangerous and downright cruddy conditions, the personable Palestinians share stories, lodgings and camaraderie with the young Israeli filmmaker, whose handheld camera follows them everywhere. |
