Janet M @RT23904152 07/07/2024 This is an excellent movie with insights on the brutal regime of apartheid against Palestinians. Must see!!! See more 05/10/2017 I really wanted to like this flick. It was an interesting topic, but it felt like an after school special because it missed nuance and depth. Very pretty video sequences, but they, also, felt tacked on. The story line was pretty predictable, Based on truth doesn't mean dramatic. It was a lecture in film.

The ever-taboo bottom line here is that many of humanity's ugliest moments arise when fundamentalists convince each other that they deserve to improve their position by taking away from the comparatively defenceless. It doesn't matter whether those fundamentalists wear swastikas or yamakas. It's all about as ugly as ugly can be. See more 09/17/2015 Julian Schnabel não faz milagre. O filme é uma boa história desperdiçada. See more 10/23/2013 The true story of Hind Husseini is a fascinating one. Unfortunately the movie spends most of its time on much less interesting characters. That combined with some questionable politics and the miscasting of Freida Pinto make this a disappointing film. See more 10/19/2013 I LOVED it! Engrossing, entertaining, and realistic, allowing one to see the Middle East situation from the viewpoint of a Palestinian who in the end sided with peace. I ran a non-profit organization in 2002-09 that funded tolerance workshops for both Israelis and Palestinians. While I'm Jewish with relatives who are Holocaust survivors in Israel, I feel that this film depicts accurately the Palestinian experience and in the final section in which an Israeli girl is introduced, an important Israeli viewpoint as well. Before seeing the film, I saw an interview on Charlie Rose with the real "Miral," on which the film is based. From the most challenging of childhoods, this beautiful woman (physically and spiritually) has made so much of her life. We should all be so courageous! See more Read all reviews
