Between Heaven and Earth

A moving film that takes you by the hand and slowly walks you around the hidden historical details of Palestine, through the backdrop of a bitter divorce. Few films on Palestine have been able to capture the nuances of the conflict and for those interested to dive into them or to even be taken away by breathtaking cinematography, I would highly recommend to add this film to the top of your movie list.

Once again Najwa Najjar takes her viewers deep into both her homeland and its history, revealing secrets about not only her protagonists but also the creation of the state of Israel. Evocative cinematography and well drawn characters enrich the storytelling as the lead characters embark on a quest through the physical and psychic territory of their parents. At once a story of love lost, found and taken away as well as highlighting the everyday realities of Palestinians seeking simply to live their lives. This movie is definitely a must watch for anyone with interest in great storytelling and/or the Middle East.

Really beautifully done. How the story is woven and how it tells so much in subtle ways. Very realistic and true to the daily life of families and married couples in Palestine. The filming and the scenery and the production are superb and world-class quality. This is the kind of film I would watch more than once. I highly recommend it.

Najjar skillfully portrays love's chaos within a history of personal and political turmoil. It was a very intimate journey with the couple as they tried for divorce, met with both continuous, subtle reminders of the power of love, as well as challenges to reigniting it while coming to terms with themselves. The moments of silence, for me, were the loudest, most intimate and engaging. Brilliant soundtrack too. Would recommend!

A captivating movie (Between Heaven and Earth) with deep insights into the socio political fabric of Palestinian life. A beautiful storyline with the perfect balance of mystery, drama, good conversation, beautiful scenery... Great production & acting. A must- watch movie.
