The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

First of All the line story is clear and easy to find out how, the romance, yep dont ever ask why this is good because its a romance movie. the music is good with a little thriller sound here and made me loud noisely to when the nimr in the runaway.the character is really smooth just like they really have their story for real, this is I call the romantic movie I ever seen beside the truth is this movie were gay movie. i really dont care but I feel love here, I cried when there were fight for their love and I really thinks and grateful that I was born here in my country with freedom.

Out in the Dark is a movie about true love, giving all yourself to the other person. It is set in Israel and Palestine, describing the most powerful love chemistry I have ever seen on the screen. I got really connected to the both of main characters. Scenery is really beautiful and story is really breathtaking. There is one thing in this movie that I almost never think about. It is music, made for the movie. You can almost feel it on your skin. Especially the last one ( France by Mark Holden ). Even today, when I listen to it, I feel very sad and get goosebumps every time.There was a debate if this was pink-washing movie. I never got that in mind. Both sides are depicted in neutral way. They are both full of good and bad characters. I do not see this movie as political. It is movie about true love and sharing all you have with other part of your soul.The ending really got me in tears, left me thinking about future of both characters. Song France makes you feel feelings main roles feel and makes you think about all good stuff they went trough together. Definitely, one of the best love movies I've ever seen.

Out in the Dark is one of those movies that is a needle in a haystack and only comes along every once in awhile. The story follows a young Palestinian student and the battles he deals with on a daily basis; an ambitious, driven university student who is desperately trying to make a better life for himself. When he falls in love one night at a club in Tel-Aviv, his world is turned upside down and he is torn between two worlds; his desire and love for Roy, a young, handsome, Israeli lawyer and his tense closeted life in the West Bank. The director does a phenomenal job as does the lead actors (Nicholas Jacob as Nimr and Michael Aloni as Roy) at portraying the highly controversial themes of sexuality in the Middle East, and the extreme tension between Israel and Palestine. Through Nimr, the viewer is immersed in these conflicts, conflicts that many of us would not have exposure to otherwise. We as the viewer, get to witness the horrible realities that come along with being gay in modern day Palestine, along with what it means to be a Palestinian in Israel through Nimr's eyes.This movie brings along with it, tense, controversial topics and portrays them perfectly, on the basis of two individuals who will defy their country, religion, and family to be with one another. The story is an emotional one and will have you frustrated, happy, and sad throughout the scenes. Realistic, intense, and even gritty at times, Out in the Dark is definitely a must-see and will instantly become a favorite. By the movie's end it will leave you believing that despite everything in this world, love really can and will conquer all.

The film looks at the issue of homosexuality in a very humanistic way. It should be appreciated. "Out in Dark" also targets this very important matter that ordinary and innocent people are the main victims of political conflicts between the government. And also various governmental or militia agents who try to prevent two persons for loving each other instead of solving the main problems of the country.Hopefully this film will have some effect in the Arab world which is quite harsh with homosexuals. It's quite sad that the mother of the younger gay in the film even does not want to talk to his son over the phone just because he is gay.In General I think the film is a "must see".
