“Fascinating. It gives a more complete visual picture. . . than we ever see on the news.” – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
“Among the finest films made in the Middle East.” – Phil Hall, Film Threat
According to Abu-Assad, “When the abnormalities of barriers and occupation become an everyday reality, normal things like love and marriage turn into fiction. This is life in Palestine right now. I wanted to challenge it through cinema.”
