    The Ring

    ★★★★

    It has some problematic scenes, and not all the jokes work, but it is an extremely impressive and moving work that gives the audience a rare cinematic experience.

  • Captain America: Brave New World

    Captain America: Brave New World

    ★★★½

    It's much better than expected, presenting an interesting change of style and pace for the franchise and bringing some surprising pay-offs set up in earlier films. Its central theme is the confusion of very human and flawed characters who are unsure they can successfully follow the steps of the heroes who led previous entries. The mood is quite somber and adult, catching the zeitgeist quite effectively.

    The Other Story

    ★★★

    A melodramatic story with many problems of plausibility, that doesn't really work as a straight forward narrative and not as an allegory about co-existence. Even though it's pretty well made and the casting is great, it's hard to believe that the script would get funding without Avi Nesher as the director.


    מעשייה מלודרמטית מלאת חריקות של אמינות, שלא לגמרי עובדת לא בפשט הנראטיבי השטוח ולא בממד האלגורי המלאכותי. ככלל, למרות מיומנות העשייה הניכרת והליהוק הנפלא כתמיד, קשה להאמין שהתסריט הזה היה מגיע להפקה לולא היה מדובר בסרט של נשר.

    ★★★

    Great cinematography, intriguing world (though it owes a lot to Tarkovsky and Tarr), but it doesn't have enough content or philosophical depth to justify its running length and extremely slow pace. Could be so much better after trimming some 20 minutes.
