Movie Reviews of Walk on Water
Movie Review: Perfect Balance
Summary: 5 Stars
Two songs, "For What It's Worth", a deeply political song, and "Cinderella Rockefella", a whimsical love song, are the counterweights to "Walk on Water, as people try to balance and reconcile the two.
The film tackles some pretty heavy generation affecting issues like the Holocaust, the Palestinian/Israeli conflict, and Gay/Straight issues, then has the characters in the film reconcile them on a personal level.
The film had an interesting storyline, provided interesting character studies, had some songs I liked, and had an ending which seemed to fit and left me liking the film even more on retrospect.
Movie Review: Walk on the Water is Worth Seeing
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a hard core Zionist. Areil Sharon is my hero. In many respects, Walk on Water is not my sort of story. It seems to imply that Palestinians are victims of Israeli aggression. Also, it subtly argues that violence only begets more violence. Peace is supposedly the only real option. Nonetheless, this tale about an existentially challenged Mossad hit man is challenging. The acting is superb. Israel is truly a beautiful country and its people generous and civilized. Are you even minimally interested in the Israeli experience? If so, I strong recommend this film.

Movie Review: A Wonderful Surprise
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife and I rented this through the video-on-demand service from our local cable company and were pleasantly surprised by this fabulous film. The storyline hooked us from the film's opening moments and kept us fully engaged throughout. This is one of the few films I've ever seen where I dreaded the end because it was so good that I wanted it to continue forever. The acting is natural, the topics it tackles are handled in a way that I think is at once truthful, realistic and sensitive without being manipulative, maudlin or a heavy-handed in-your-face screed (Hollywood, take note). What a phenominal film!Movie Review: Walk on Water DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
Finally! A movie with a deep plot that held my interest. This movie was recommended to me by a friend who saw it on a movie channel. Having missed it, I bought it instead and am so glad that I did. It was made in Israel and contains some Hebrew that I was thrilled to hear. The story was complex but easy to follow which included problems with homosexuality as well as a hit man's role in the plot. It's the type of movie that you would not mind seeing again, which I also feel about Casablanca.Movie Review: Beautiful

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!
This is just a comment on the one moment that to me earns this film five stars. When the main charecter leaves the grndfathers room and passes the grand son, the fact that they say ABSOLUTLY NOTHING was the most satisfying film moments I have ever felt. It as so beaututiful to see a a driector with the confidence to just let the men be men and remain strong and silent, so perfect.
