Movie Reviews of Time of Favor
Movie Review: It pulls no punches.
Summary: 5 Stars
In a nutshell, this movie is a critisism on a struggle between the religious and secular Israelis, with two young people in love stuck in the middle. The religious leader is portrayed as somewhat clueless, arrogant man, the extreme of religious self-righteuosness who loves to get his way with no regard for his own family. A love-struck, gullible student sees the teachings of his mentor as command to violence.
The secular military sees any religious manifestation as a possible threat. They can't understand why the orthodox soldiers are so eager to serve. The see no need to understand the faithfull and have no qualms about accusing an innocent man of a crime, simple because he comes from a religious background.
The two lovers in the storyline are trapped between the two worlds.
Bear in mind that THE PLOT USES THE EXTREME OF BOTH SIDES. It does a great job of showing the worst part of the struggle in Israel today. It favors no one. Instead it blames the fundamental ignorance of the extremists on both ends of the spectrum.
The acting, cinematography and the storyline are superb. To truly appreciate this film one must stop to think and comprehend what the writers are trying to tell you.

Movie Review: Not bad
Summary: 5 Stars
Some cons first. The movie is getting old. The characters are pretty sketchy. If you are not familiar with Jewish culture and Israel, it's not that straightforward to figure out what is going on.
But it's interesting to watch. It is one of a few opportunities to see some of the challenges Israel people face. Music is nice. The story feels real, as well as the emotions of the characters.
Basically this film has some love story but the documentary/politics component is also there.
Movie Review: Excellent foreign film
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is a treat of fabulous cinematography and superb acting. It is a poignant story of betrayal and trust, wrapped up in the volatile issues coming from the middle east. It gives a small glimpse inside the world of suicide bombings, Jewish religion and culture, and the clash of the old world and the new. Beautiful, touching, timeless. Watch it.Movie Review: Fantastic movie worthy of its "Best Picture" Status
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is very well made, not only including excellent acting on the part of all involved but also in its sweeping views of the disputed territories. I won't go into the plot, since it is described a great deal in previous reviews. However, I must say, this is one of the best, if not THE best Israeli movie I have seen to date.
