This beautiful movie moved me in such a quiet, strong way. I went by myself the first time, and I was so moved I took friends the next day to experience it with them. We were all in tears.

One of the very best films of 2005: ambitious, captivating, satisfying, superior craftsmanship. a great film sharply focused on current hot button social, personal and political issues.

"In the Cut" was a suspense/thriller subverted by the chick flick. Like the underappreciated Jane Campion-directed film from 2003, Etyan Fox's "Walk on Water" makes digressions, in this case, into the gay subculture, that seem to exist outside the genre requirement of the thriller that the story be plot-oriented. To me, "Walk on Water" most resembles the form of "In the Cut" when the Jewish assasin and the gay German hang out by the sea. It's like somebody switched reels. Because "Walk on Water" is playing in art theaters, there won't be the befuddlement of cineplex patrons who kept waiting for the two chicks (Meg Ryan and Jennifer Jason-Leigh) to shut-the-hell-up, and live up to the billing of "thriller". "Walk on Water" shows you things you don't normally see; most notably, Jews recast as the bad guys, and a "queer" killer whose violent act isn't intended to incite a straight audience to villify them. The film's climax is like a Paragraph 175 revenge fantasy.… Expand

This movie wasn't supposed to answer questions--it was supposed to raise them. It had a wide scope, difficult to address, perhaps, in one film, but it certainly should make people think and feel, the result of any good film.

What a great movie. I am proud to be Israeli again.

The last five minutes are overly sweet and neat. Otherwise, excellent--depth of characterization and complexity of themes make it much more than a thriller. But its issues do not bog down the well-paced plot and informative images of Israel and Berlin.

The film compared the experiences of Germans in Israel and Israelis in Germany: both settings required explanations and soul searching. While they were filming, there were 3 massacres of Jewish school children by terrorists. I am glad they showed the news footage only on tv in the background; otherwise the film may have become an intense tragedy rather than a drama.

Excellent movie, really well done. Tackles an interesting issue from multiple angles. The relevance of the Nazi era to modern Israelis, nationalism, fear of the enemy, German self-image regarding WW II...Balanced, realistic.

Great film. Excellent acting.

Ending too obvious and pat but generally absorbing. Good cast and great soundtrack.

This film beautifully weaves several different and complex themes (homosexuality, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Holocaust, among others) into a delicate and captivating piece of cinema. Gorgeous but understated cinematography, fantastic acting, a fun and thoughtful soundtrack, and good dialogue make for a very engrossing and powerful drama.

The ending is horrible, but the other 9/10th of the movie are pretty good and even achieve authentically cute moments, in a good way.

Clever, entertaining, moving and funny film with a very human message. Great from the beggining and getting even better as the story goes on.

Very Emotional movie. I was on the verge of crying most of the time. Great Actors. Very good soundtrack. A lot of beautiful sights.

Always entertaining. Very moving. A great story with a great message.
