1967. The world is alive with change: brimming with reawakened energy, new styles, music and an infectious sense of hope. In Jordan, a different kind of change is underway as tens of thousands of refugees pour across the border from Palestine. Having been separated from his father in the chaos of war, Tarek, 11, and his mother Ghaydaa, are amongst this latest wave of refugees. Placed in "temporary" refugee camps made up of tents and prefab houses until they would be able to return, they wait, like the generation before them who arrived in 1948. With difficulties adjusting to life in Harir camp and a longing to be reunited with his father, Tarek searches a way out, and discovers a new hope emerging with the times. Eventually his free spirit and curious nature lead him to a group of people on a journey that will change their lives. When I Saw You is the story of people affected by the times around them, in search of something more in their lives. A journey full of adventure, love, humor, and the desire to be free. A story of the human spirit that knows no borders.
Leave your thoughts about When I Saw You.
| Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlYet another first-rate film from a Middle East rich with them. |
| Boston GlobePeter KeoughA fresh perspective on one of the world’s longest conflicts. |
| Little White LiesDavid JenkinsGently comic life lessons emanate from horrific warfare in this measured and poetic mother-and-son drama. |
| Slant MagazineAlan JonesLike Antoine Doinel in The 400 Blows, Tarek has a way of using defiance and sarcasm to make himself seem smarter than any ostensible authority figure. |
| Total FilmSimon KinnearPolitical without point-scoring, Jacir remains true to a child’s-eye view, with Asfa’s delightful, exuberant performance always upfront. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisWhen I Saw You is a soft-centered child’s-eye view of alienation, toughened by fine acting (Saleh Bakri shines as a fighter drawn to Ghaydaa) and Hélène Louvart’s full-bodied photography. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawWhen I Saw You perhaps comes a little close to cliche sometimes (perhaps it's impossible to watch guerrilla scenes without thinking of Woody Allen's Bananas), but there are great moments and vignettes. |
| Empire MagazineDavid HughesPalestinian filmmaker Annemarie Jacir's second film is slight yet significant - and, because of the situation in Syria, timely - story about a boy whose courage inspires hope among the hopeless. |
| ScotsmanSiobhan SynnotAn earnest piece of social realism from a child's point of view. |
| Time Out LondonTom HuddlestonThere’s a lack of subtlety or surprise which serves the story poorly... That said, it’s a thoughtful, timely, often quietly captivating drama. |
