Imperiously wringing his hands at both sides of the conflict, Hare never brings his observations together in a satisfying conclusion (not that any was likely, in just 80 minutes).

So much of the film is given over to highlighting David Hare's confusion as a tourist in a conflict he can never fully comprehend.

A fascinating study of the Israeli-Palestinian divide.

If you've followed global politics you can predict what the characters will say, but this movie is all about stunning MoCap animation.
