Beautifully shot end edited! I felt the story is incomplete. felt like hours and waiting for something to happen. Disappointed with the ending. it could have been great! as a Palestinian living in Palestine, it doesn't reflect reality as it is.

While I was watching the movie, I thought: if the Palestinians are like that, they should be worse. How are the Palestinians in the movie different from the Israelis?

Elia Suleiman plays himself, while traveling through different places and making comparisons with his homeland, Palestine. It's full of symbolism and irony. It's a subtle comedy, but brilliant in the key points. To take advantage of everything that you see, you need to have a bit of knowledge about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, to understand the little things and comparisons with the other societies seen in the film. The photography is beautiful, the film lives by it (there is practically no dialogue in the film), with perfect symmetry between scenes. I did not find anything pretentious about this, as some have pointed out, but rather a different way of romanticizing a delicate subject of great significance for the director.

This is one of the best movies to describe two faced french (Europe in general) mentality and clueless American mentality in the scenes when he had to see producers. Loved it.

It was one of the most boring movies I have ever seen. The beginning was fine I would even say interesting but after that it just kept on repeating itself. It might be funny for someone who knows a lot more about Palestine but for a person who knows nothing this movie will have no effect. Some shots were nice but most were over exposed and you couldn't even see what was happening. The acting of the director was lame he just stares at everything than leaves if he is not saying anything I would have expected a little bit more from the mimics. And the ending doesn't fit together with the rest of the movie. Overall bad experience. I wouldn't recommend.

This is justification of IsraHell's tyranny against Palestinians. Trying to show that other countries and societies are militarised so Israel is no exception. Yeah, right. From art point of view: boring and pretentious as others have also mentioned.

Imagine. Dali, Goya, Magritte mix together well for swirls of irony, humor, grimness. Add the otherworldliness of The Matrix, the schizophrenic gaze of Gene Wilder. Out of Palestine comes this magic mirror, crafted with seamless skill. Let it bother you.

Such a disappointing ending to a beautifully shot movie. Funny how a single scene can kill all the emotion I felt during the rest. Really close to a masterpiece.
