Critic Reviews

Though Kippur seems a creature radically different -- more nakedly autobiographical, more naturalistic, more forgiving -- from Gitai's highly conceptual and stylized body of work, there are clear thematic continuities.Full Review

Ella Taylor
L.A. Weekly

A classic war film, at once elegiac and immediate, that takes you smack into the chaos of combat yet is marked by a detached perspective.Full Review

Kevin Thomas
Los Angeles Times

A story about the ravages of one war on a single man's soul and psyche becomes an eloquent plea for peace.Full Review

Jay Carr
Boston Globe

Lisa Schwarzbaum
