The film takes place in 1973 during the Yom Kippur War in which Egypt and Syria launched attacks in Sinai and the Golan Heights. The story is told from the perspective of Israeli soldiers. We are led by Weinraub and his friend Ruso on a day that begins with quiet city streets, but ends with death, destruction and devastation of both body and mind.

The film takes place in 1973 during the Yom Kippur War in which Egypt and Syria launched attacks in Sinai and the Golan Heights. The story is told from the perspective of Israeli soldiers. We are led by Weinraub and his friend Ruso on a day that begins with quiet city streets, but ends with death, destruction and devastation of both body and mind. Various scenes are awash in the surreal, as Weinraub's head hangs out over a rescue helicopter's open door, watching with tranquil desperation as the earth passes beneath, the overpowering whir of the blades creating a hypnotic state. It is not a traditional blood, guts and glory film. There are no men in battle, only the rescue crew trying to pick up the broken pieces.
Leave your thoughts about Kippur.
| Critical EyeMark Freemanall the more daring for its desire to convey its message without didacticism or even conventional methods of narrative. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIt's as good a war film as I have ever seen, and that includes the gritty hard-nosed Sam Fuller's autobiography "The Big Red One." |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasA classic war film, at once elegiac and immediate, that takes you smack into the chaos of combat yet is marked by a detached perspective. |
| L.A. WeeklyElla TaylorThough Kippur seems a creature radically different -- more nakedly autobiographical, more naturalistic, more forgiving -- from Gitai's highly conceptual and stylized body of work, there are clear thematic continuities. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean AxmakerAt more than two hours, Kippur is something of an ordeal. |
| New York TimesA.O. ScottThe relentless attention to the sheer awfulness of war, which is the film's great strength, is also something of a shortcoming. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxPerhaps more than any war film in recent memory, Kippur is about the actual work of combat. |
| Village VoiceJ. HobermanAt once shockingly vivid and overwhelmingly antiheroic. |
| Mr. ShowbizMichael AtkinsonFormally astute, visually arresting, and fearlessly horrifying. |
| Miami HeraldMarta BarberBoth a blood-churning war movie and a mind-stirring antiwar movie, focusing not on guts and glory but on the stark realities of real battlefield experience. |
