Between Heaven and Earth

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!

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!

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.

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.
