Movie Reviews

User Review - 8/10 by Iskandar AIt gives a good idea of what it must have really been like for the Israelis to leave. Must say I preferred the 2nd part of the film. Anyway, I'm a big fan of Amos Gitai...
User Review - 6/10 by Freddie Fi had a great review 4 this i posted it and poof its gone-wtf flixie?!?
User Review - 6/10 by Walter MSo what do you do with a filmmaker whose technical skills far outweigh any ability to tell a story or get a valid point across? Case in point, Amos Gitai. I was wowed by his film "Kadosh" but since then it has been a series of frustrations. His film "Disengagement" gets off to a promising start, however, with an encounter between a Palestinian woman(Hiam Abbass) and Uli(Liron Levo), who is on the way to Avignon for his father's funeral, on a train, captured expertly in a single shot. To ease him off the mortal coil, Uli's half sister Ana(Juliette Binoche) arranges to have a singer(Barbara Hendricks) serenade him in a beautiful and touching scene. And then about halfway through, when Jeanne Moreau puts in an appearance, it suddenly becomes apparent that the story has not even begun. That story is centered around the Gaza Disengagement wherein the Israeli army rightfully told the Jewish settlers in the Gaza Strip to get lost. Somehow, both Uli, an Israeli soldier, and Ana end up getting involved. Up until then, she has been acting like either a 12-year old or Marilyn Monroe(sorry, I've been watching "Smash" lately), which is especially strange coming from Juliette Binoche, but now suddenly acts with a renewed sense of purpose. On a political level, Gitai, who loves his tracking shots, provides little in the way of insight, especially on the subject of identity, just a lot of people shouting at each other, with just as much attention given to the plight of the family car.
User Review - 6/10 by James CThis film has a great opening scene on a train but then shifts to about 30 minutes of sibling relations between Juliette Binoche (acting rather odd) and her Israeli half brother Liron Levo that really go on for too long before the real plot kicks in. Binoche must go to Israel to find the daughter she abandoned who is living in Gaza which is about to be evacuated by the army. So you have a great opening and a very moving finale but in between is a mishmash. It's a shame because Binoche is always fascinating to watch and aside from the early scenes, she's fantastic. Writer/director, Amos Gital has a wonderful sense of capturing natural behavior in very long takes but I think that the thread of a storyline against a very important subject gets lost with extraneous character development that goes nowhere.
User Review - 2/10 by Peter HFilm about the troubles in Gaza mostly in English but some in subtitles not worth watching as very poor
User Review - 2/10 by Yuval PPretentious and boring. Well, it IS Gitai.
User Review - 2/10 by Pedro CAnd once again the Oscar for BEST RANDOM MATERIAL ON A MOVIE goes to Amos Gitai. I mean, there's nothing convincing about it. And most of things make no sense at all. I don't ask for much, but a random opera singer playing hide-and-seek with an english-speaking Juliette Binoche? WTF Amos Gitai? I guess I was lucky for having achieved to sleep through 30 minutes of "Free Zone" 'cause in this one I was bored all the time.
