A very tense, engrossing, and well-acted movie.

It's hot stuff, and Alayan handles it with the practiced skill of juggler casually flicking torches in the air.

A fascinating and unsettling look at the ramifications of marital infidelity when shone through [a] specific geopolitical prism.

Alayan's Jerusalem is a place where individual privacy is non-existent; where conformity is demanded for sheer survival; where any citizen who questions the establishment is immediately punished.
