-
80Rare vehicle which gives the Palestinian people (rather than their failed, double-talking leadership) an opportunity to speak freely and openly, and that feat in itself makes this one of the most important documentaries of recent times.
-
70Longley has constructed a remarkably coherent, horrifically vivid snapshot of those turbulent days.
-
70Mr. Longley makes powerful use of the techniques of cinéma vérité. The absence of voice-over narration and talking-head interviews gives his portrait of daily life under duress a riveting immediacy.
-
60A documentary to make the stones weep -- as shameful as it is scary.
