From: arty film reviews Category: Art Date: 05 January 2009 Time: 05:41 AM Review: Good/bad timing to watch this as Israel re-invades Gaza. You feel like Israel needs a better PR company in Europe or better start acting nicer before it loses all support. The thing is people like a good guy and a bad guy, and although Israel are by no means the worst guy, they are now the bully and bete-noire of the chattering classes. This film is all right, a bit overhyped, seems like it might end up more profound than it does. I came out feeling jumpy and anxious, but that might be too much coffee, or too much massacre. Someone asked what I had seen, and I forgotten the title, which made me seem suspicious, I then joked that I was traumatised and repressing it. The joke fell flat.
