(1 - 15) of 15 OFCS Rating: 29% Rotten Page   1   3/5 "In a film that is so concerned and in love with its female characters, Gitai sort of leaves them in a lovable sing-along"   Filmcritic.com   Chris Cabin "The film is about their journeys, separate and together, and only nominally in Hanna's car."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 0/4 "...an unquestionably awful, awful film."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 3/4 "Addressing conflict by conflicting itself, Free Zone's effect is almost avant-garde."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez C- "Despite dealing with a journey, this confused and confusing movie seems to go nowhere."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 4/5 "The meeting of three women -- an American, an Israeli, and a Palestinian -- in Jordan and their struggle to overcome prejudices and their communal histories. "   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat C- "an often excruciating 134 minutes that could have been trimmed to a tidier 10 minute short"   Old School Reviews   John A. Nesbit 1/4 "While Portman does outshine everyone and everything on screen and though she certainly gets credit for making the résumé sacrifice in the spirit of embracing her heritage, Free Zone does nothing for her in return"   Bangitout.com   Jordan Hiller 3/5 "Judging from her heartfelt turn as Rebecca, Portman seems much more at home in character-driven, art house fare than in her usual studio extravaganzas."   Film-Forward.com   Kent Turner 2/4 "Portman and the audience are stranded in the middle, on the outside looking in, with nothing to do and patience increasingly wearing thin."   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina C "The elder actresses simmer as they warily interact, but the dialogue is more schematic than dramatic..."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 2/4 "Despite a handful of quietly affecting scenes, the film mostly fails to delve beneath the surface of either its gritty narrative or the three protagonists, who mainly come across as cultural archetypes, rather than multi-faceted characters."   Reel.com   Timothy Knight 1/4 "Without much effort you can imagine the corkboard littered with index cards mapping out the political clashes this cast is asked to act out in their robotic interactions."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf Read review   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson  (1 - 15) of 15 OFCS Rating: 29% Rotten Page   1
