What are critics saying?
Time Out London by Cath Clarke
In this heartfelt film, Fleifel shows us the human cost of the conflict.
Fleifel gathers the messy detritus of everyday living, laughs at it, then shows the viewer what it means.
Slant Magazine by Diego Semerene
Mahdi Fleifel's usage of a domestic archive of home-video images inherited from his father lends the doc a simultaneous sense of historical gravitas and intimacy.
The New York Times by Nicolas Rapold
Mr. Fleifel helps walk us through the history with an ingratiating voice-over that lightens the seemingly permanent clouds of a dire history.
