After years abroad in Italy, Shadi (Bakri) returns to his native Nazareth. But this is no spectacular homecoming. He's back somewhat begrudgingly to honour his "wajib" (or duty) to hand out invitations to his sister's wedding with his father. The simmering tension between the two - who are often stuck in a car, more often than not in traffic - builds, exposing the sometimes-comic chasms that exist between men who live in different worlds but share an unshakable bond....

Leave your thoughts about Wajib.
| Financial TimesNigel AndrewsFilmmaker and author-poet Annemarie Jacir films the faces, the doleful one-stop living rooms, the dusty downtown streets. It's a doggerel odyssey, mischievously done. |
| Little White LiesThomas NguyenAn eye-widening, culturally rich look at life inside a Palestinian family. |
| GuardianLeslie FelperinYou might argue that the script is perhaps too tidy and neat, but the rich sense of place and multidimensional characters are too seductive to resist. |
| FILMINK (Australia)Jarrod WalkerReal life father/son Mohammad and Saleh Bakri are terrifically engaging... |
| The Sunday AgeCraig MathiesonGrounded in locations that speak to the broader realities and personal differences in philosophy, the film has wry warmth and unexpected differences. |
| Dog and WolfAlexa DalbyWriter and director Annemarie Jacir has made a compelling, beautifully observed, very human film that, despite the desperation of its setting, ends up being quietly life-affirming. |
| Observer (UK)Mark KermodeJacir continues to impress with this poignant, bittersweet comedy of estrangement and identity... |
| Times (UK)Ed PottonThere's little here that bucks the conventional road-movie structure, but the droll script and humane performances are quite special. |
| The Arts DeskTom BirchenoughWajib may appear to have narrowed its horizons, but in burrowing down to the essentials, allowing detail to speak volumes, [Jacir] proves, resoundingly, that less can be far, far more. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineMohammad and Saleh Bakri put their terrific chemistry on-screen, playing this father-son relationship with nonstop banter and superb physicality. |
