This wry comedy drama has excellent acting and surprises galore.
With masterful tonal balance and control, and a visual sophistication as yet unusual among Israeli directors, Gabizon catches both the absurdity and the sadness of what it means to live with such daily threat and confusion.
Israeli director Savi Gabizon has created a nuanced coming-of-age portrait that ought to strike a chord with audiences everywhere.
Israeli society is one that has ample experience processing grief, and Nina's Tragedies explores that challenge with humanity and humor.
This raw truth, this emotional nakedness, is deeply refreshing.
The biggest weakness in Nina's Tragedies, is the character of Nadav. His shadowy presence leaves the movie without a solid center around which to spin its tales.
Gabizon never establishes a consistent tone or point of view. Instead, we hop from one episode to the next, with no momentum and no reason to care about these people.
