Film review

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.

Treasure is a very particular story that will evoke universal emotions in audiences.

The movie features striking cinematography and high production values not usually seen in documentaries.

As I watched the movie, my loyalties kept shifting among the characters, and I wasn’t always sure where it was going – one of the highest compliments I can give any movie.

Silk is at the center of a moving drama about a couple in a small Moroccan city who make silk caftans in their workshop, which turns into an unusual love triangle.
