Movie Reviews

Village Voice - 9/10 by Michael AtkinsonVereté has a whip-smart sense of narrative bluffs.
Filmcritic.com - 9/10 by Christopher Nulla budget affair that exposes the generally sad existence of the Bedouins while providing a precious twinkle of insight into their lives.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzA sobering, impartial look at the human condition.
TV Guide - 7/10 by Ken FoxIt's a beautifully constructed, often disturbing look at a day in the life of several down-at-the-heels denizens of Recife.
New York Post - 6/10 by Megan TurnerThe passions aroused by the discord between old and new cultures are set against the strange, stark beauty of the Mideast desert, so lovingly and perceptively filmed that you can almost taste the desiccated air.
User Review - 10/10 by Amir MFascinating cultural document about the Negev Bedouin of Israel and their relations with the Jewish population.
User Review - 6/10 by Mark AThree separate stories about Bedouin culture. Living in the desert requires a certain hardness that is foreign to western sensibilities. The first story explores the value of a human life. Sadly, in a place where life is hard and death comes easily, the answer will surprise. The second delves into the relationship between a man and his wife and how all of the power in that relationship resides with the man. The wife is free to leave, but only if she leaves without her children, something she is unwilling to do. The third investigates the Bedouin code of honor. A man's loyalty to the tribe is tested and found wanting. He is then banished from the tribe for turning a blind eye to the waywardness of one of the women. In sum, this film provides a small window on a culture that is totally foreign to us. Hopefully, we come away with a clearer picture of how that society operates and the rules by which they live, even if it does little to engender sympathy or even understanding.
User Review - 6/10 by Noel KThree sad stories of Jahalin Bedouins in the Judean desert. These stories deal with the relationship between the Jews and the Bedouins and how they deal with certain outcomes using their societal framework and values.
User Review - 6/10 by Harman KAn educational type of foreign film concerning the relationships of the Bedouin tribes and their Israeli neighbors. Brilliantly acted, directed, and a good script in this one. It's a little boring though, so don't expect to be very entertained, aside from the third film, RED ROOFS, which I thought was the best and most powerful one out of the entire bunch. This is a movie to watch if you feel as if your life sucks, because trust me, it is a very cruel and f'd up world out there, at least this is what I was thinking about when the credits started rolling. The last thing I want to add is that I found all three short films to be pretty engrossing, absorbing, and interesting, so I definitely recommend YELLOW ASPHALT to all of you, especially to the more 'mature' audience if you will.
User Review - 4/10 by Private UThe first Israeli film I'd seen; if you aren't used to Middle-eastern films this is an excellent movie to start with. Moving and insightful portrayal of Bedouin life; doesn't tiptoe around sensitive topics. Facts weaved in with brilliant storytelling.
