Eytan Fox delivers another involving tale in The Bubble.

New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman
Fox stumbles a little at the end, which is unnecessarily exaggerated. He should have trusted his own talent - it's the attention to minor details that makes his work so memorable.

The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
Mr. Fox may be a romantic, but he understands that love is rarely all you need.

Chicago Reader by Jonathan Rosenbaum
Sweet tempered but occasionally simplistic youth picture about three young, progressive Israelis who share a flat in a chic section of Tel Aviv.

The A.V. Club by Tasha Robinson
Real love is often as complicated and painful as Middle Eastern politics, and Fox might have been better off acknowledging that, rather than making his characters such vague, sweet, safe ciphers.

The comedy is without distinction and the conclusion is melodramatic. I must note that ads for the film are misleading because they give no hint of the dark side of The Bubble.
