    [Highly rated reviewer]

    This is a heart-warming, optimistic film; perhaps naively optimistic. It hopes that the bigoted and intolerant will tire of conflict and cruelty once the tragic consequences of their attitudes and actions come home to roost. This happens for hit-man Eyal when the enormity of his wife’s suicide eventually hits him. But there is righteous anger too, as liberal, loving, gay Alex shows for Germany’s Nazi past and today's neo-fascists. This film is pleasant and comforting, as well as thought-provoking, though sometimes is a tad credulous.

    A powerful film that explores a difficult subject Matter and how forgiveness, friendship and honesty help towards mending an open wound.

    My perfect film...

    The cinemaphotography was excellent: Istanbul, Berlin, Tel Aviv and various other famous Israeli sites among the locations.

    The acting was very good. I really empathised with the characters.

    Despite the trailer, this is no Hollywood blockbuster; it has a plot for a start that keeps you guessing right until the end.

    I think music fans will enjoy the variety of soundtracks.

  • Just a great film

    A very interesting film. More slice of life and understanding the human experience than a 'Gay' film. The 'Gay' bit is just part of the story and not central to it... refreshing! Somewhat challenging story line but keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering where it is going. I really enjoyed it. An interesting follow up to Yossi & Jagger. I think director Eytan Fox has a promising career.

  • Great story about the past and reconciliation

    Very well made. Acting is superb and the story makes you think.

    Who is wrong, who is right, and what is the price of justice?

    Can we ever move forward if we keep looking at the past?

    I did enjoy this film but there was something not quite right. Although it had a gay character it did not feel like an LGBT film, just like the languages - it wanted to be foreign but was not quite there. Although i know why they had English as the dominant language it just did not help with the acting and made it a little woddern. Definantky worth a try but not something I would visit again
