Synopsis:

From IMDb: “A drama centered on the love affair between two men on opposite sites of the Mid-East conflict: Palestinian student Nimr and Roy, an Israeli lawyer.”

Poster: C

Review: Poster designs are one of the last elements created for a marketing push, but throwing something together because you have a minimal budget doesn’t have to mean it looks like nearly every other indie drama’s design.

Trailer: B

Review: The importance of a film like this cannot be lost considering the struggles the LGBT community is facing internationally these days. While films like this have been largely common in the U.S., foreign territories, especially ones not known particularly well for their tolerance of LGBT issues, haven’t generated many films with this kind of freshness.

Oscar Prospects:

Neither Israel nor Palestine is likely to submit this film (though, I’m not sure which country would qualify to submit it anyway), so don’t look for it at the Oscars.
