Top CriticGood intentions often make bad movies.
11/21/07
Top CriticThe filmmakers split time between history and personal drama in ways that do full service to neither.
11/15/07
Top CriticIt aspires to be an epic drama but suffers from an acute identity crisis: It can't decide if it wants to be history, drama, or a cry for peace in the Mideast.
10/26/07
Top CriticIt's hard to take the film seriously with [its] contrivances, including a hokey music score, dialogue designed solely to give us historical information.
10/25/07
Top CriticEven with its flaws, the film finds many moving moments as it surveys the ravages of a perpetually divided country.
10/24/07
Top CriticUnfortunately, French director Elie Chouraqui settles for speed and cliché.
10/19/07
Top CriticIt's not easy to turn one of the most controversial events of the 20th century into a movie that makes your eyes roll, but O Jerusalem does this and worse.
10/17/07
Top CriticThe performances are all good, and there's enough history in O Jerusalem to float a boat of refugees.
