Movie Reviews of The Band's Visit
Movie Review: Bridging People Art
Summary: 4 Stars
I had heard of this movie a couple of weeks before terrorists provoked a next military outbreak in the Middle East, a Second Lebanon War, and wanted to watch it definitely.
A lyric comedy of Egyptian policemen found themself in a strange environment of a semi-hostile country, surviving on mercy of ordinary Israeli-Jewish generosity, having in common with the Jews much more than, according to media, mullahs and politicians round a world assert.
Perhaps, pro-Western female emancipation itself is a very different experience for a male-dominated culture Arab guys used usually to and constitutes a very line of a story telling humoristically of inter-national grassroot human bridges possible and occurring with English only by singing American melodies and mentioning American musicians.
Educative movie-if behavioural patterns were correctly depicted by Israeli-French creators.
Movie Review: Different from what I expected
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie was different from what I expected. I thought it would be faster-paced; a little bit on the edge, perhaps a little controversial. It was none of these. Instead, "The Band's Visit" is a quiet movie, made great by terrific acting, both by the Israelis and by the Arabs. Each part was played to understated perfection. I also liked the way the director cast very ordinary looking people, some with less than great teeth or bodies, to be the stars of the movie. In addition, the people in this film seem weighted down by boredom, loneliness or both- just like in real life! But moments of real insight do occur, which make the movie touching and worthwhile. Watch this movie when you are in a reflective mood, and enjoy!Movie Review: Sad movie
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie has an interesting premise, but leaves you wanting more. Almost all of the Egyptian band members act very reserved and depressed during the movie. They rarely smile, say much or do anything. It seems like this movie has a lot of potential for friednships to form, but it ends up seeming like an inconsequential visit. The movie is worth checking out, but in my opinion it ends up being less than advertised.Movie Review: Neat, funny surprise package!!
Summary: 4 Stars
Funny, dry humor at it's best .. .. It's not always necessary to say something when just a look will do .. ..
Heart-warming tale of an Egyptian Police Band stuck in a small Israeli town due to a misunderstanding anyone can make .. ..
And, sometimes just a wave says more than years of worthless bable .. .. =)))
Movie Review: Well done but slow paced - Attention Deficient Viewers need not view
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a nice quiet movie. It has interesting characters but there never seems to be a resolution to some of the situations it presents. Its well done and I enjoyed the quick music performances in the picture. If you appreciate a slower paced foreign film that is about every day life then this is a delight to watch.
