Alain E @AlainE 6d An optimistic film about the possibility for Jews and Palestinians to discover common ground. Unfortunately, in the fourteen years that passed since the release, things had gone definitely the wrong way. On Tubi.

See more 07/28/2021 One of the best scenarios that I've seen and of the best-detailed description about how characters (and life) accept it, each one with his own pace. See more 05/23/2020 what an amazing movie! such a simple story but comes with the strongest message a film can deliver: no matter what origin or religion, we are all humans who want to be accepted and be loved, and thats all what counts in the end. great new perspective on the gaza conflict. how beautiful would that be if all would act like those two boys in that story. See more 12/18/2016 Well developed, interesting chatacters and plot elevate this movie. Very endearing and personal while acknowledging the political realities underlying the main plot. Well worth watching. See more 04/27/2015 I just happened to see this film while channel surfing HBO last night. This story,about about two college aged boys, one Palestinian the other Israeli switched accidentally in the hospital at birth, seems so incredibly improbable as to have no chance of being a believable film. But , against all expectations it is more than believable; it is a good, sensitive and very human movie. Thought provoking, it avoids sentimentality but remains a warm touching exploration of two families working through a situation difficult under any circumstances, let alone in the setting of the Palestinian / Israeli conflict. Beautifully done; succeeding on many levels, I heartily recommend this to anyone who feels even the smallest interest and empathy for the human element on both sides caught in the difficult nature of the current hostilities. It is not a perfect movie, but the excellence of the script, performances and direction overcome the movie's flaws and make it well worth seeing. See more Read all reviews
