"The Insult" is optimistic enough to leave the door open to hope. But it's also realistic enough to only leave it ajar.
It shows that even in the most hostile of situations, with all of our prejudices in front of and behind us, we're still in this together.
... powerful new movie directed by Ziad Doueiri...
We may not be able to export democracy to the Middle East, but exporting Law & Order has been a piece of cake.
"The Insult" drives the point home while offering insight into the Middle East conflict (it's at least part history lesson) by way of a riveting courtroom drama enhanced by terrific performances.
"The Insult" doesn't offer a tidy resolution or easy answers - just a lot of questions worth pondering.
Audience Reviews for The Insult (L'insulte)
A slowly absorbing courtroom drama that could have been a bit more well polished, especially considering the way it tries to force our sympathy towards the two characters, but I do love how it shows that a personal conflict can reveal so much about something more complex than it seems.
