It's unlikely there will ever be a more moving portrait of the shared selfhood, usually veiled by politics, common to the Palestinian and Israeli peoples.

A work of powerful humanism.

It's a fascinating human story and a film as pure as ice water

Politics hovers over every moment of Another Road Home, Elon's layered, loving and deeply personal documentary about her quest to find the Palestinian caregiver who raised her.
By Allison Benedikt FULL REVIEW
70
Unforgettably documents the kind of journey that leads not to easy answers, but rather to an even thornier knot of questions.
By Nathan Rabin FULL REVIEW

Politics hover at the edges of even the most affectionate encounters among Danae, her parents, and the Obeidallah family. Amos Elon's negativity regarding the future of the Jewish state mars the film, yet Another Road Home moves beyond dark predictions.
By Leslie Camhi FULL REVIEW
50
Earnest if emotionally unsatisfying documentary.
