Ms. Jacir is a thrifty filmmaker; there's nothing frilly in this movie. But she is also a sensitive and imaginative and resourceful one. Oct 4, 2018 | Full Review…

You might argue that the script is perhaps too tidy and neat, but the rich sense of place and multidimensional characters are too seductive to resist. Sep 13, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Annemarie Jacir's insight into inter-generation tension is what makes Wajib so compelling and watchable, while never losing touch of the specificity of this particular father and son. Oct 17, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
