Reviews for Time of Favor
Just as the recent Argentine film Son of the Bride reminded us that a feel-good movie can still show real heart, Time of Favor presents us with an action movie that actually has a brain.

Top CriticA headline-fresh thriller set among orthodox Jews on the West Bank, Joseph Cedar's Time Of Favor manages not only to find a compelling dramatic means of addressing a complex situation, it does so without compromising that complexity.
05/31/02
Top CriticA flawed but engrossing thriller.
01/15/02
Top CriticI enjoyed Time of Favor while I was watching it, but I was surprised at how quickly it faded from my memory.
03/03/02
Cedar takes a very open-minded approach to this sensitive material, showing impressive control, both visually and in the writing.
05/31/02
Top CriticPacks a considerable wallop.
01/18/02
Top CriticOne of the most successful, provocative and intensely contemporary of Israeli films, so much so that to watch it is to feel the country having a passionate argument with itself.
02/01/02
Top CriticA good thriller.
05/31/02
An unflinching, complex portrait of a modern Israel that is rarely seen on-screen.

The tone is balanced, reflective and reasonable.

Top CriticWhat distinguishes Time of Favor from countless other thrillers is its underlying concern with the consequences of words and with the complicated emotions fueling terrorist acts.

This is really just another genre picture.
01/10/02
Time of Favor could have given audiences the time of day by concentrating on the elements of a revealing alienation among a culture of people who sadly are at hostile odds with one another through recklessness and retaliation.
03/31/02
Earnest but heavy-handed.
04/30/02
Moderately involving despite bargain-basement photography and hackneyed romance.
