| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...an engaging, sporadically enthralling little drama... |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatThe battle between love and hatred for Arabs in one Jewish family in Jaffa. |
| User ReviewJennifer TIt is an emotional and touching drama about the Jewish and Arab family living in Israel. I liked Dana Ivgy a lot. She did a fantastic job as a helpless single mother whose loyalties are split between her family and her love. I didn't get one thing that when Mali's (Dana Ivgy) parents were upset with her upon knowing that she was a mother of Toufik's daughter - was it because Toufik had accidentally killed Mali's brother or was it because he was an Arab Muslim. |
| User ReviewBill DThis is a heart-wrenching Romeo and Juliet story set in Jaffa with an Arab-Israeli Romeo and an Israeli Juliet. Writer-director Keren Yedaya lays bare prejudice and class differences in this French-Israeli-German-produced family drama. Dana Ivgy is the standout of the cast in the Juliet role, and was nominated for the Ophir Award for Best Actress. |
| User ReviewMark AA solid performance, reuniting two of this viewer's favorite Israeli actresses, Dana Ivgy and Ronit Elkabetz, mark this film that delves into the hatreds and prejudices that exists between Arabs and Israelis on a very personal level. The director, Keren Yedaya, also directed the earlier film starring these two, Or, My Treasure, and has produced another winner. The story hinges on two young lovers who must hide their relationship from their parents and who get caught up in circumstances that tear them apart. The focus is on Mali (Ms Ivgy) and her parents, Rueven (Moni Moshonov) and Ossi (Ms Elkabetz) and the aftermath of an accident that ends one life and forever changes another. The emotions are raw, the hurt suffered by these people is real, and the choices made and their consequences seem authentic. Not a lot of "fun" here, but one that will stay with the viewer long after the credits scroll past. Four solid stars. |
| User ReviewCynthia SVery slow moving drama...but very engaging, and moving, to say the least. The story is well told, and I found myself feeling bad for everyone involved. This is a story of survival, despair, and eventual overcoming. Wonderful ending.. |
| User ReviewAlex SGood drama on a romantic relationship between a Jewish girl and Palestinian Arab working in the same garage in Jaffa, Israel. Like many other films made by the Israeli film industry, this movie has a slant to the left. Thus, the son of the Jewish owner is portrayed as a repulsive, lazy brute and drunkard while the young Arab and his father working at the garage are quiet, likable, hard-working people. But despite that the movie is definitely worth watching. |
| User ReviewMatt GAn engaging drama from Israel. A Jewish family owns a garage that employs Arabs as mechanics. Their eldest daughter is carrying on a secret romance with one of the mechanics. Their plans to elope are halted by a very personal tragedy. This is the kind of film where the characters do not laboriously explain everything they are thinking to each other, so although the pace is slow, it's legitimately suspenseful. |
| User ReviewRyan MJaffa strikes me as an updated version of Romeo and Juliet, sans the total fail at the end of that one. A Jewish girl falls in love with a Palestinian boy that she has known since childhood. The central conflict in the story is between members of a Jewish family and the Palestinians who work for them in their family owned garage. These conflicts are heightened and resolved through the relationship the young woman has with her love interest. While borrowing elements of a classic story, the movie is anything but predictable, and in the end, after the conflict inches further towards resolution, then further still, there is a gradual sense of movement past the inter-group struggle in play at the outset, but without a ride into the sunset. Love triumphs in the end, but each person who chooses love faces consequences for that decision. |
| User ReviewKelly KThis film keeps you on your toes. There is no hint to where the plot will lead and no clear choices to be made for any of the characters. It was realistic in the sense that sometimes in life all you can do is make decision after decision, hope it is the right one and just keep living. That's what Jaffa is all about. |
