Leave your thoughts about Israel: A Home Movie.
| Times of IsraelJordan HoffmanFrom a purely aesthetic point of view, Israel: A Home Movie is a cinematic essay. |
| Slant MagazineWes GreeneA prismatic meditation on an entire nation, Eliav Lilti's documentary is history as abstraction. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThis striking cinematic collage provides a hauntingly personal perspective on a country that has been wracked by strife from its very beginnings. |
| The A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyIsrael’s most interesting — and revealing — footage tends to be the most candid: beach-goers in the ’30s, scenes from family gatherings and celebrations, a coke-fueled celebrity wedding in the ’70s. The commentary gimmick justifies itself in these stretches. |
| Village VoiceDiana ClarkeLilti tells a fine story, but he doesn't always look closely enough at what he's saying. |
| The New York TimesRachel SaltzThese mostly silent home movies often have the tug of nostalgia, especially those that show domestic life... But images can be slippery, showing something different from what their creators intended. Even as Mr. Lilti constructs a history...he seems to show its fissures. |
| Film Journal InternationalChris BarsantiThe chaotic and hopeful history of a young nation is idiosyncratically told through this kaleidoscopic barrage of home-movie footage that ranges from the kitchen to the battlefield. |
| Film-Forward.comNora Lee MandelCounters myths and official views, [with] the unusually frank look at the changing perceptions of the indigenous Palestinian population, before and after independence. |
| Time OutDavid FearWhat Lilti’s cinematic mural does is remind us that the political is always personal—and in Israel’s case, vise versa. |
| The DissolveNoel MurrayThere’s a matter-of-factness to Israel: A Home Movie that’s disquieting, as it shows the joy and determination of a nation in the making, and the dismayed faces of those elbowed aside. |
