Featured reviews
Thought it would be a boring movie but turns out to be surprisingly good, about the events that took place for signing the oslo accords. Though hours of meeting and talks would seems boring to some but its strangely intriguing and kind of uplifting when both sides came into agreement with each other. Acting is solid and non pretentious, and the couple's effort to establish the accord deserves a nobel peace prize imo. This is a good movie you should see, ignore the negative ratings as they are all silly and irrational, it certainly deserves a much better rating.
This is an incredibly interesting glimpse at one the most significant events in the history of the Israelí/Palestinian conflict. Yes! There is no action packed scenes, but rather intelligent dialogue that is interesting and thought provoking. There is also a sprinkle of humor that ties the whole story together. I highly recommend this movie to individuals who are interested in the behind the scenes look at the events that shape history.
As someone with a Masters in International Relations, I just loved this film. It really humanized the difficult process of international diplomacy. Although it doesn't get into the nuts and bolts of diplomatic deal making, I think it's quite instructive of the power of getting opposing sides to the table for talks. Of course, we now know the Oslo Accords ultimately failed, but the process for which they came about remains truly inspirational.
Also, Ruth Wilson was wonderful and delivered a quietly powerful performance.
Tempted to give this film 10/10 to balance out the politically motivated ratings. But it's really an 8 for me.
P.s. Teachers in university IR courses or high school social studies classes, this would be a great film to watch and discuss during units on international diplomacy.

I think this film is a brief summary of the current Israeli-Palestinian relationship. I liked the choice of Palestinian actors.n N matter how much he is shown as a peaceful on both sides, there is a sense of hatred. Mona's" the world left you on your own " is a brief summary of film and finally, the dominant yellow light color was very disturbing.
Being a political movie fan I kinda like this movie. The film seems like being dragged on but you can imagine what more draggy and difficult the real peace negotiation was. It shed some light into what is happening in politics of the area. Go watch this with an open mind and you will enjoy this.

- GoofsBorregaard Manor, where the majority of the action takes place, is a stately manor by Norwegian standards. However, it is nowhere near as grandiose as the building depicted in the movie.
