Review:

There was no poster immediately available for my review. Should one become available in the future, this section will be updated.

• Trailer: B

Review:

There's something authentic and emotionally engaging in this trailer. Despite its similarities to the classic story of members of warring factions falling in love, there is plenty of reason to believe that the conclusion may be far more desperate than most of the plot-driving elements.

Oscar Prospects:

I don't think it's eligible, having released last year in Israel, but this could be a good contender for an Oscar nomination if it's eligible.

Release Date:

• June 3, 2009
