Five Broken Cameras movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
A.O. Scott, New York Times: "5 Broken Cameras" provides a grim reminder - just in case you needed one - of the bitter intractability of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Read more
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal: This is how the conflict looks from the other side of the barrier. Read more
Alison Willmore, AV Club: It offers a look at how a tireless protest can sometimes only come at the expense of one's own daily existence. Read more
Mark Feeney, Boston Globe: What we do see has an immediacy and intimacy that's involving. It also can feel a bit wayward and cumulatively wearying. Read more
Hollywood Reporter: Doc finds an affecting personal angle on West Bank territorial dispute. Read more
Sheri Linden, Los Angeles Times: As raw as the material of "5 Broken Cameras" can be, it is also lyrical and elegiac. Read more
V.A. Musetto, New York Post: The issues are complex and not easily solved. But no matter which side you are on, you'll be moved by this intimate work. Read more
Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle: [It] makes no pretense at balance - it's unambiguously pro-Palestinian - but it offers a unique and intimate record. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: Both a moving first-person essay and an artful exercise in political advocacy, 5 Broken Cameras is about the experience of West Bank protests from the inside. Read more
Stanley Kauffmann, The New Republic: [A] bit jagged, inevitably incomplete, and in no way news-breaking: it is simply moving. Read more
Bruce Demara, Toronto Star: Israeli filmmaker Guy Davidi helps shape all of the footage into a compelling and very personal documentary, helping to craft the eloquent commentary in Burnat's voice that knits it all together. Read more
Leslie Felperin, Variety: Unlike the more sophisticated chronicle of resistance Burma VJ, it pays scant attention to the larger political context or, indeed, the strategies and tactics of protest in an age that offers sophisticated means of media management. Read more
Mark Holcomb, Village Voice: Startlingly intimate and direct, this first-person doc by Emad Burnat and Guy Davidi requires multiple viewings for anyone eager to work out how it could have been shot with such precision and visual ingenuity under such plainly chaotic conditions. Read more
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: Takes the rough material of one man's life and transforms it into a story that is universal and urgent, offering firsthand witness to events that are too often portrayed as distant and impossible to understand. Read more
