Critic Reviews

70 The New York Times
Any attempt to elucidate the most vitriolic turf dispute of our time in just 73 minutes may seem insanely ambitious, but Isidore Rosmarin, the documentary filmmaker and producer, was not deterred.
60 Village Voice Charles Petersen
Workmanlike at best, with a regrettable tendency toward cheap filters and effects, the film's strength lies in its remarkable list of interviews.
50 LA Weekly
Nothing in this methodical, unimaginative documentary about the Arab-Israeli conflict will surprise, edify or, God forbid, outrage you.
