Movie Reviews

Seattle Times - 9/10 by John HartlBacha, who worked on the impressive 2004 documentary "Control Room," does well to focus on one tiny town and its leading citizens; "Budrus" is at its best when she keeps the scale small.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kenneth TuranWhat's most gratifying about Budrus is that the film enables us to feel some of the same emotions the participants experienced.
Film-Forward.com - 8/10 by Nora Lee MandelClosely follows remarkable story, from many viewpoints, of [a] community . . . creat[ing] an unusual paradigm for nonviolent protest . . .where most think that's impossible.
Spirituality and Practice - 8/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatA brave and illuminating documentary about a landmark 2003 nonviolent protest movement in a small Palestinian town against Israel's Separation Barrier.
Village Voice - 8/10 by Ella TaylorThe little-told story of a small but growing nonviolent opposition movement among rural West Bank Palestinians gets an airing in Julia Bachas mostly fair-minded documentary.
Financial Times - 8/10 by Nigel AndrewsIf you want a real film about women changing history, try the documentary Budrus.
Little White Lies - 8/10 by Liz HaycroftThe people of Budrus, and their choice of peaceful protest, can only be admired.
Total Film - 8/10 by Tom DawsonFollowing events over several years, director Julia Bacha uses visual sources and interviewees (including Israeli soldiers) to sculpt a timely testimony to the power of peaceful resistance.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 8/10 by Chris HewittBacha's film has a naive charm that fits well with the simple goals of the people, who were just asking that they be allowed to continue raising their kids and making a living in the place where they grew up.
rec.arts.movies.reviews - 8/10 by Louis ProyectA superlative introduction to the realities of Palestinian suffering and resistance.
