During an era where so many of us are desperately looking for comfort, I can think of no cinematic message more fitting for 2018 than this one.

There are no easy resolutions here, but Hamoud makes clear that these women - troubled though they may be - will stand strong and defiant and together.

Although "In Between" depicts a nation in crisis, it's a crisis that's viewed through the intimate lens of family dinners, where generations struggle over conflicting values.

Through their romantic entanglements, family strife, and the restrictions places on them as Palestinians living in Israel, Hamoud’s film explores what it is to be a modern woman caught between many intersections of life.
