As a pocket history of the battles over Jerusalem in the ’40s, O Jerusalem is serviceable enough. But all the melodrama cheapens the real drama, and turns a war-torn region into a soap-opera stage.

What are critics saying?
Chicago Reader by Andrea Gronvall
This bloated 2006 historical epic flatlines early and never regains a pulse.
Washington Post by Desson Thomson
Makes the mistake of including too sweeping a scope in too small a movie and with too few resources.
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
Whether on a Middle Eastern battlefield or the streets of New York, characters converse in stilted, expository mouthfuls that smother emotion.
Formulaic film recounts the tumultuous birth of Israel.
What is evident from the film is that there was never any chance these two peoples could make a peaceful coexistence.
