TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Nozz Migdal Ha-Emek is one of those towns that, if you have any great ambitions, you move away from. In this movie we meet a high-school girl who wants to be an actress and travels from Migdal Ha-Emek to the big city for an audition. But that's a subplot. Mostly we have a newly arrived classmate who comes from a cultured background, reads books and so on, but finds no one similar to be his companion. The alpha male of the class is a troubled kid from a broken home, and the question is which of the two boys will more greatly influence the other. They tell me the Israeli schoolrooms are pretty chaotic, with the teachers suffering a lot of backtalk. I didn't go to school in Israel, so I'm not sure how exaggerated the undisciplined classroom atmosphere is, but I'm sure it reflects a grain of truth. The young actors are believable, the older actors include a couple of Israel's best, and the story holds attention although it's not exactly merry all the way.
