Son of God
Barely OK 17 Points 2014

Son of God had the potential to be an Easter season blockbuster,but instead – it mostly fell flat. Instead of big-screen immersion, you get a made-for-TV feel. Instead of Jesus as a dynamic, powerful presence – you get a wimpy, almost icky man. Instead of a sense of good and evil, you get this…

The Band's Visit
Great 84 Points 2007

Relaxed and delightfully deadpan, with several LOL moments, The Band’s Visit works as a perfectly pleasant comedy and as a signpost for how Israelis and Arabs can live together as neighbors. The movie uses a classic fish-out-of-water situation to achieve more than a few moments of inspired comi…

Waltz with Bashir
Perfect 66 Points 2008

The hell of war gets chronicled as never before in this stylistic and thematic breakthrough of a movie. Animated though vividly realistic, this grunt’s-eye view of war and its post-traumatic aftermath stands as a postmodern masterpiece, taking its place alongside fictional accounts like "Apocaly…

Zero Motivation
OK 66 Points 2014

Zero Motivation is a loafer’s view of army life, as embodied by the worst unit in the Israeli Army. Some girls just aren’t army-material, but that hardly matters in a country with universal service requirements.

Instead of F-Troop, think *G-Tr…
