Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
Tal is 17 years old. Naim is 20. She's Israeli. He's Palestinian. She lives in Jerusalem. He lives in Gaza. They were born in a land of scorched earth, where fathers bury their children. They must endure an explosive situation that is not of their choosing at an age where young people are falling in love and taking their place in adult life. A bottle thrown in the sea and a correspondence by email nurture the slender hope that their relationship might give them the strength to confront this harsh reality to grapple with it, and thereby ever so slightly change it. Only 60 miles separate them but how many bombings, check-points, sleepless nights and bloodstained days stand between them?
Leave your thoughts about A Bottle in the Gaza Sea.
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeSure, it has something to say, but it hardly feels like its out to change the world -- only a very small part of it. And it succeeds with sincere feelings and a beguiling charm |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisFueled by neither anger nor religious extremism - the director, Thierry Binisti, remains rigidly nonpartisan - "Bottle" is a gentle pairing of youthful idealism and tenacious hope. |
| Toronto StarBruce DeMaraDirector Thierry Binisti has chosen two excellent leads in Shalaby and Bonitzer, both of whom exude intensity and charisma. The supporting cast is also uniformly solid. |
| Film Journal InternationalDoris ToumarkineYet another impressive dramatic take on the endless Middle East impasse and attendant violence. |
| amNewYorkRobert LevinThis is the story of people who dream big dreams and find a common understanding in the face of impossible difficulties. It's hard not to get behind that. |
| Village VoiceJon FroschAlthough smoothly directed, A Bottle in the Gaza Sea has little visual personality or dramatic urgency. What might have been a tough and adult take on a bond full of hope but thwarted by war plays more like an after-school special. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanThere are no villains here, no attempts to sway opinions or even stake out political ground. Some will find that a disappointment. But the truth is that this effort is both more evenhanded than most dramas with similar themes, and more open-hearted. |
| NOW TorontoNorman WilnerA Bottle In The Gaza Sea is a well-meaning but rather insistently earnest plea for mutual understanding between Israelis and Palestinians. |
| Slant MagazineCaroline McKenzieThe film obviously can't resolve the conflict between Palestine and Israel, but the resolution to the story's arc feels nonetheless forced and misplaced. |
| User ReviewAlexane DVery touching movie, one of the best french movies of the year !! I recommend it. |
