The Insult uses its familiar courtroom drama framework to deliver a hard-hitting statement on modern Middle Eastern politics that's as gripping as it is thought-provoking.

The Insult provides a valuable, fascinating and hard-hitting history lesson on Middle East politics, particularly the plight of Palestinians. It instructs, but offers no easy answers. [Full review in Japanese] May 3, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

Any sense of predictability is dispelled by the film's ending which triumphantly unites the political and the personal by crystallising their connection in two great performances. August 27, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

"The Insult" is optimistic enough to leave the door open to hope. But it's also realistic enough to only leave it ajar. February 15, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

As much as The Insult is an issue-driven experience, what brings it to life is the acting, especially from those playing family members on both sides of these combatants. May 28, 2020 | Full Review…

Despite some minor issues (the score is -to put it charitably- blunt; one of the twists is soap opera-worthy), The Insult remains firmly grounded in reality, even as the squabble spirals out of control. January 28, 2020 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…
