Yes, this is a very slow film, but you have to think and feel the subtle, emotional undertones. I enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed this movie. I must admit, however, that after reading some of the other reviews stating that the movie is slow, etc., I was reluctant to watch it. I put it in the DVD player and thought the movie was delightful. It was very heartwarming and funny and the acting was brilliant. After watching the movie, I was reminded of all the reasons that I love foreign films in the first place. The plot was original and the characters in the story are well-developed and interesting. The movie gives a fresh perspective in humanity and dispels many stereotypes that Westerners sometimes hold as truth. For those that don't watch foreign movies solely due to subtitles, I would recommend giving this movie a chance-a large portion of the movie is in English.

The subtle can be sublime. If you do not expect the apocolyptic, maybe a little rub with common can be heaven. Relax, enjoy!

It's got that good slow plot with subtle points and great character development that makes me keep watching these types of indie films. I like the simple moments that pack a punch and seem so real.

Take a stuffy egyptian band with an up tight director and then get them lost in a small Isreal town that needs a shot of excitement and poof you have a movie worth watching. There are several conections made and especially between the band director and a woman. Love the rollar ring scene. Hope you enjoy this.

Kept waiting for something to happen. Half way through I couldn't take it any more so fast forwarded to the end. Didn't miss a thing!

WAY OVERRATED! If you enjoy watching the face of a 'constipated' man for half of a movie then this is for you! The lead male character is so negative and dislikable that he saps all fun from this attempted comedy. Moves like a snail and stings like a butterfly. I know it's supposed to mend fences between countries but what a boring drag.
