Coming of age films for teens have become predictable and stereotyped in recent years. And the boy meets girl, boy dumps girl (or girl dumps boy) theme has been done a hundred times. Ultimately, this film would have fallen into that predictable scenario, except for one issue; racism of Israelis for Arabs and Arabs for Israelis. As for the lesbian theme; it really does not make much of a difference; a hot romance and getting dumped is just as painful for lesbians as it is for heteros. The usual dysfunctional family is the setting for a teen's trip through early life decisions; most of them bad. Interesting for the insight of living in Israel with neighbors who constantly want to kill you, but are too weak and disorganized to do so. Insightful.

I'm a male and I really liked this movie and the lead actress Sivan Shimon (Naama). It was just a really good movie in an innocent way. The girls are really sweet and just experimenting in life. This could be any family from any country, not just Israel. Human emotions and feelings of love, laughter and friendship are beyond language and can be understood by every human being ... no matter where you are. These girls are sooo cuuute too! Good job by EVERYONE involved in making of this movie. Shalom! Much luv form the United States!

Thank-you thank-you thank-you for this lady! Wow! I was like OK< whatever, some dyke thing on freevez with some adds, but after I watched this , it was so heavenly this this this is true art, true unadulterated art untutored , unstudied, unfiltered, raw and simply someone who would give you a masterpiece at whatever she sets her hands on , a true visionary this is art all the way a new vanguard of art, Indie and fun and real and so stylistic! She has blends of metaphors and lines that move through the narrative and coalesce so smoothly at the proper junctures coinciding with the plots and characters this and ancillary characters that and everything you could ever want undercurrents teeming with themes waiting to erupt and so much style all the while keeping you rapt to the gillls so you can't leave , this is a true virtuoso of the craft! I hope , she leaves her dumb students and comes to Hollywood and signs a lifetime deal and makes some real art here! Why not , come on! For realz... (no offense students but I am only envious of being able to garner all of her fine sage advices all the time!) wow!
