Between Heaven and Earth

Between Heaven and Earth beautifully intertwines the nuances of Palestinian love and life and subtlety presents them through a moving storyline. I loved what the road trip symbolized with the delightful personalities and heavenly landscapes encountered on the way. And the ending scene was just perfect! The film speaks easily to an international audience who will relate to the human story and also learn a thing or two about the intricacies of being Palestinian. Najwa, this is your best work. Bravo!

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.

If there is a film that encompasses the Palestinian struggle in such a poetic sequence of story and images, it would be this. I highly recommend anyone trying to understand the nuanced history of the Palestinian struggle, while also being entertained by the main plot of a couple seeking divorced.

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.

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.
