The best part of State 194 is its domesticity, its low-key approach to a conflict that has been widely sensationalized in the media.

In 2009, Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad launched a plan to demonstrate that his people were deserving of statehood, inspiring them to change their destiny and seek UN membership. Since then, they've made remarkable progress, but the political tension and Fayyad's recent resignation from office may destroy the most promising opportunity for peace in years.

What are critics saying?
Slant Magazine by Andrew Schenker
It too often feels like just one more aesthetically uninspired documentary that gives way in the end to a special round of pleading for its specific cause.
The New York Times by Anita Gates
This is certainly competent filmmaking, sort of like a long “60 Minutes” segment without the confrontational interview style.
Los Angeles Times by Gary Goldstein
With a two-state solution still elusive, "State 194" may feel a bit like yesterday's news — literally and figuratively. But as an aid to better understanding this vital, complex dispute, the film is definitely worth a look.
The A.V. Club by Mike D'Angelo
As a primer, however, the film does the job, albeit less thoroughly and with more needless digressions than would even a lengthy magazine article on the subject.
