  מנצל את ה10 שקל של ההשכרה עד הסוף..

  ביקורת פצועה: אני חושב שזה סרט נורא בעייתי אבל בעיקרון חוץ מכמה רגעים מלאכותיים, כתיבה קצת נדושה ומשחק קצת questionable של כמה שחקנים אני חושב שזה סרט מוצלח וממש עוצמתי. גם את הרגעים המלאכותיים אני יכול להבין כי בכל זאת יש כאן במאי שמצליח לספר בצורה מאוד רחבה 4 סיפורים במקביל ולרגש וגם לגרום לי ולאמא שלי לצחוק על כמה שדברים כאן דומים למשבר האחרון שעברנו.. מצחיק.. עצוב.. מצחיק.. עכבר…

  הסצנה שמאיה נוסעת באופניים במורד ההר, זה הרחוב שסמוך לבית שלי
  היום הוא נראה בול כמו אז

  נוצר מצב שאני זוכר כל קאט וכל סצינה בעל פה אבל לא יודע איך ה10 דקות האחרונות של הסרט נראות כי קשה לראות דרך הדמעות

  Review by Botbotb ★★½

  I watched this for a class. It’s technically a competently made melodrama with solid performances but there isn’t much beyond that. This has been done before in the hands of better filmmakers who know how to use this kind of story in a more meaningful way. It’s not awful but it did nothing for me.

  כל הויצואיסטים עושים קטמין
  אני שמח שעזבתי אחרי יום אחד בדיוק שם
  לכו זדיינו למרות שיש לי חברים שם

  Countries 5x5 – Round 1 (Israel)(3/5)

  In 2002, I was living in the United States in a neighborhood that was basically 90% Israeli ex-pats. I remember that there were movie nights on a quad among the houses, and that Broken Wings was playing. I don’t remember the reason I didn’t watch it then, only that I regretted it deeply. Ever since then, I wanted to watch the film but only now managed to get my hands on it.

  I don’t know if this film was necessarily worth waiting 20 years to watch. Besides, I was 11 then. How much would I have been able to understand and internalize about the socioeconomic hardships that led to the deepening of the emotional…

  Review by John Nesbit ★★★★

  The 2002 winner of nine Israeli Film Academy awards along with top prizes four other festivals (Jerusalem, Berlin, Tokyo, Palm Springs), Broken Wings (Knafayim Shvurot) is a rare contemporary Israeli film that doesn't deal specifically with the Palestinian situation. First time writer/director Nir Bergman paints more universal themes of grief and family dysfunction on his cinematic canvas, filling the screen with realistic characters that conquer viewers with their strength and humanity. Bergman need not concern himself that much with plot development when drawing such unforgettable personalities. On the surface Broken Wings structures itself like melodrama that predictably follows standard routes, but the richness of the details and human touches elevate the film above the mundane.

  Opening with a slow pan…

  Review by FangsFirst ★★★★★

  Israeli films aren’t something you run across every day, unless you make it a point to (or live in Israel, I suppose…or carpet your floor with them and refuse to walk) but I’ve certainly run across one now. Holy cow have I ever run across one.

  With only an 84 minute running time (a mere 80 minutes without credits, 79 without opening credits…) this film just about broke my heart, and I spent most of it still trying to get used to a new lingual sound and rhythm–I’ve heard Hebrew before, certainly, but not spoken conversationally and consistently.

  We have here a film where the most important character–as I once heard another work described–does not appear once. There are no…
