| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisWhether on a Middle Eastern battlefield or the streets of New York, characters converse in stilted, expository mouthfuls that smother emotion. |
| NewsdayJohn AndersonFeatures some first-rate cinematography and solid acting, but absolutely no sense of emotional boundaries. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA hopeful and helpful movie that depicts the friendship between a Jew and an Arab that outlasts the winds of war and the culture of revenge and racial hatred surrounding them. |
| Miami HeraldMarta BarberWhat is evident from the film is that there was never any chance these two peoples could make a peaceful coexistence. |
| TV GuideKen FoxFormulaic film recounts the tumultuous birth of Israel. |
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen WhittyUnfortunately, French director Elie Chouraqui settles for speed and cliché. |
| Baltimore SunMichael SragowAs overstated and expository as a historical pageant, from the drippy music to a sputtering, running gag involving funky old jalopies to cliched speeches and teary-eyed deaths and a final voice-over crying out for peace. Why not add a song score and an exclamation mark in the title? |
| The Jewish AdvocateDaniel M. KimmelThe need to touch on pivotal events makes this at times seem like history's 'greatest hits,' although the personal stories provide a narrative thread tying it all together. |
| User ReviewEddie GThis films should be an interesting information about the both side of the community in Israel. |
| User ReviewPrivate UDidn't do justice to one of my fav books. |
