A tour de force! – Diego Semerene, Slant Magazine<\/p>\n

Naturalistic, nicely paced and well played. A wryly-observed family drama. –
\nAllan Hunter, Screendaily<\/p>\n

An intimate, well-played disquisition on what it means to be a Palestinian. –
\nJay Weissberg, Variety<\/p>\n

Annemarie Jacir’s strong suits are as a scriptwriter and as a director of actors. She crafts lively, believable dialogue throughout, shot through with a likable streak of earthy humor, providing nuanced characterizations for the Bakris to convincingly inhabit and bring to life. \u2013Neil Young, Hollywood Reporter<\/p>\n

Proof, if any further evidence was needed, that Jacir is the pre-eminent female filmmaker in the Arab world, whether she\u2019s working as a director, producer, editor or screenwriter.
\n-Kaleem Aftab, Filmmaker Magazine<\/p>\n

\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/p>\n

Annemarie Jacir’s inner-city road movie sees this duo (winningly played by real-life father and son Mohammed and Saleh Bakri) spar over matters both serious and trivial. Even as Jacir ably explores faultiness of politics, culture and tradition, she delivers a wryly affectionate odd-couple comedy. -Simon Kinnear, Total Film<\/p>\n
