Jaffa’s schematic plot, predictably developed with stock characters that are never fleshed out, is insufficient to carry her pallid observations.

Reviews for Jaffa
An absorbing and touching family drama set in the Israeli seaside town of the title.
"Jaffa" is modeled on semi-glossy Egyptian mellers, but Yedaya lets the air out, leaving empty characters with no connections to each other or the audience. Best seen as a temporary blip in a promising career.
