Leave your thoughts about Miral.
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)Like its star, it's pretty, but that's about it. |
| Philadelphia Daily NewsMolly Eichel"Miral" gives no real evidence to support why this particular story deserves screen time. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...sporadically engrossing yet thoroughly uneven... |
| Screen JunkiesFred TopelMiral never feels like a hot button issue movie, or the even more dreaded "important social" movie. It's just a moving drama about a world that's foreign, at least to me, and probably many audiences. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekImpassioned, but also dramatically disjointed and emotionally parched. |
| Cinema WriterJay AntaniMiral overrides its screenwriting flaws with Schnabel's uncanny sense of film art. |
| Kansas City StarRobert W. ButlerIt feels strangely undernourished, as if the filmmakers were afraid to really let go and express big emotions. |
| Associated PressChristy LemireSchnabel's attempt at depicting this longtime, bloody friction from the Palestinian point of view -- and with a conciliatory tone -- is admirable; if only it had been more compelling. |
| AV ClubSam AdamsSchnabel seems cowed by his subject matter, and it doesn't help that Jebreal adapted her own book. There's no one to impose a shape on the film... |
| Detroit NewsTom LongMiral has the pedigree, the attitude, the weighty subject matter. It's just not much of a movie. |
