Divine Intervention Ratings & Reviews
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
It's ridiculous and smart, hilarious and terrifying, difficult to swallow and probably a necessary antidote to the cacophonous history of a land that all too often seems anything but holy.
Dallas Observer
Jean Oppenheimer
[A] sly and corrosively funny political comedy.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
It makes for an intriguing example of how to use art, rather than bombs, to make a sustained political point.
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Chris Hewitt
While its deadpan comedy recalls Jim Jarmusch, and its deep humanity might remind you of Abbas Kiarostami, Divine Intervention is calmly unsettling in a way that feels entirely new.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Simmering, sharply observed work.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Suleiman's argument seems to be that the situation between Palestinians and Israelis has settled into an hopeless stalemate, in which everyday life incorporates elements of paranoia, resentment and craziness.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
A film whose eerie blend of deadpan wit and inner angst upset all your expectations.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
A pleasant surprise.
San Francisco Chronicle
Jonathan Curiel
An almost irresistible work of art.
Los Angeles Times
Manohla Dargis
The film offers up simultaneous critiques of Palestinian and Israeli extremism, but the most radical thing about it is that it's often disquietingly funny.
L.A. Weekly
Ella Taylor
A collection of repetitive, seemingly unrelated vignettes, as symbolic as they are self-consciously waggish.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
A film of bits and pieces, of sly humor and quiet realizations of deeper meaning.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
No matter what your political sensibilities, you can't deny this movie's striking originality.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
It's an effective, arresting and terribly moving picture, even when Suleiman's polemical points are ambiguous.
Newsday
Gene Seymour
What to make of it? Call it a red balloon lofted into the collective imagination to unsettle, to haunt, even, perhaps, to arouse faint dreams of possibility, if not hope.
New York Post
Jonathan Foreman
Veers uneasily and unsatisfyingly from kitschy, agitprop surrealism to a laconic spareness that is less profound than tedious.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
A movie of long, expressive silences, Divine Intervention articulates things that have never been articulated, at least on the screen.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
The interlocking series of setups, punch lines and non sequiturs add up to something touching, provocative and wonderfully strange.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
This Competition film achieves a level of artistry and firm control over a clear, concise vision that makes it worthy of festival honors.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Divine Intervention is very clear that the conflict in the Middle East is all one big farce.
