(1 - 12) of 12 OFCS Rating: 92% Fresh Page   1   2/5 "blithely impersonal, formulaic, and without flavor"   Filmcritic.com   Chris Cabin B+ "The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is refracted through a condensing narrative prism in director Eran Riklis ("The Syrian Bride") restrained multinational drama."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey 3/5 "En general no me gusta decir que una película es "necesaria" (un facilismo rimbombante en el que suelen caer muchos críticos), pero en este caso debo hacer una excepción."   Uruguay Total   Enrique Buchichio B "Has a distinct point of view on the Israeli-Palestinian impasse, but expresses it with considerable finesse as well as emotional power."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 5/5 "A moving and important movie about the healing power of empathy in the continuing Israeli-Palestinian conflict."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat "Eran Riklis, who directed and co-wrote with Suha Arraf (they also collaborated on The Syrian Bride), has made a compelling movie that takes its strength from the ground-level picture it gives of the human aspect of the problems in that part of the world."   Film.com   Jonathan F. Richards 4.5/5 "It's not easy to make a personal drama in Israel that doesn't quickly become overwhelmed in politics, but this film cleverly balances both elements."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline B+ "The story could take place anywhere, here in the US, South America, Africa or wherever, and its David vs. Goliath theme is worldwide."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 8/10 "A near perfect allegory of the deadlocked struggle for peace in the Middle East, this is rising star Hiam Abbass' best performance to date."   Monsters and Critics   Ron Wilkinson 6/10 "It's worth seeing Lemon Tree simply for the performance of Hiam Abbass, who is magnificent in her dignity and determination."   Playback:stl   Sarah Boslaugh 7/10 "While the script crackles along, the visuals are powerfully uninteresting."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 12) of 12 OFCS Rating: 92% Fresh Page   1
