Alila Reviews
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...Gitai has populated the story with one unlikable character after another, making it impossible for the viewer to connect with anything on screen.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
The story and even the characters turn out to be less interesting than the overview it gives us of the way Israelis live now, its portrait of a dislocated society where despair rumbles beneath the surface of everyday life.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Gitai ... records the comings and goings with a keen eye.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Suggesting that the strain of the Arab conflict has gotten to the Israelis and that peace might only be a pipe dream.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Amos Gitai's acidly comic study of life in a flimsy Tel Aviv apartment complex is a sour urban mosaic whose seedy characters, try as they might, can't get out of one another's faces.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
An interesting, if not entirely successful, adaptation of an excellent book.
Boxoffice Magazine
Sheri Linden
For non-Israeli audiences, Alila is an alternately illuminating and confounding glimpse into seldom-seen aspects of the country.
L.A. Weekly
Ella Taylor
Though absorbing enough, Alila must be counted a noble failure, if only because its efforts to follow the screwed-up lives of 12 hapless souls in a seedy Tel Aviv apartment building finally add up more to mere mimicry than commentary.
City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul
Ed Gonzalez
Gita's portrait of self-destructive lives is certainly honest, but his direction is suffocating.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
None of the characters or situations truly manages to hold our attention, though there are some arresting moments.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Gitai delivers an amazing film every bit as satisfying as his masterpiece Kippur (2001).
Film Journal International
Lewis Beale
Extremely well-acted and generally absorbing.
E! Online
Another piece of essential viewing for outsiders trying to understand life in the Middle East.
