Directed by Hava Beller an 85-year-old, female, Oscar-nominated filmmaker, whose two prior films took her each over a decade to make. This one took even longer. She has a very distinct eye and style. The film explores the ongoing Palestinian/Jewish conflict in the Middle East, it does not take the rose tinted view that "if they can build a bridge/perform a play/ work side by side in a hospital - that peace should not be impossible." This longitudinal study is a far more immersive, tough, authentic and keenly observed work than the scores we have all see before by exploring the lives of young people born into a life that is lived right on the conflict zone.
Leave your thoughts about In the Land of Pomegranates.
| RogerEbert.comGodfrey CheshireIt’s interesting to witness the encounter and hear the thoughts of young people from such a bitterly divided land. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonBy the end of this meandering yet fascinating documentary, viewers are left with the impression that such attempts to bridge gaps and heal wounds, however well-intentioned, will have, at best, extremely limited success. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohAn unwieldy, unfocused work that just gets lost in its own ambitious striving for objectivity and scope. |
| The New York TimesKen JaworowskiA tough and cleareyed look at how things are, rather than how we want them to be. |
| Los Angeles TimesSheri LindenAt its most hopeful, the film traces a story of medical diplomacy, involving a young Gaza boy's life-saving surgery by an Israeli doctor. At its most searing, it illuminates the seeds of hatred and the depths of suffering and mistrust. |
| Easy Reader (California)Neely SwansonThe film could have benefited from some judicious cutting to tighten the narrative. It is not, as the marketing would have it, a suspenseful film. It is, however, a very depressing but necessary one. |
| Film-Forward.comNora Lee MandelAmidst tense airings of grievances, context is set against beautiful images of the disputed homeland, archival footage, and personal testimonials of clashes and cooperation. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank Scheck[Beller's] deep-rooted empathy and compassion is plainly evident in her latest effort, but it's not enough to compensate for the tedium engendered by the meandering debates whose impact ultimately adds up to very little. |
| Village VoiceDaphne HowlandThe film is a jumble, with no sense of meaningful interaction. |
| User ReviewSteve WUnfortunately, by the end of this meandering yet fascinating documentary, viewers are left with the impression that such attempts to bridge gaps and heal wounds, however well-intentioned, will have, at best, extremely limited success. Already saw it on boxxy software. |
