Film review

Thelma is a touching and entertaining story about what getting old is like for many people, with real laughs and moving moments.

The movie is the story of an illicit and immoral relationship, the kind that once upon a time was winked at when the younger person was a male teenager but is now viewed as a criminal offense.

Tatami tells a gripping, suspenseful story that could come from today’s headlines, inspired by the “Woman. Life. Freedom” protests in Iran.  

Amid regional tensions, the 41st Jerusalem Film Festival showcased vibrant new Israeli cinema, from debut films to innovative storytelling.

The film is showing throughout July and August at theaters in the Lev Cinemas chain and other venues around the country.

'Thai-Land' is a well-crafted story and beautifully photographed story about two communities whose lives intersect in strange and sad ways.

These movies are not meant for sophisticated audiences, and few English speakers ever see them. When Israeli movies go to international film festivals, the comedies almost always stay home.

Nothing less than a heartfelt, feel-good memoir based on a touching true story.

Hila, which is very watchable in spite of its occasional and distracting descents into pretension, is certainly one of Michal Bat-Adam’s best movies. 

Usually, whether I like a movie or not, I can understand why the director wanted to make it, but here the reasoning eluded me.
