Footnote Ratings & Reviews
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Israeli writer-director Joseph Cedar's tale of two Talmudic scholars set in present-day Jerusalem, while not exactly side-splitting, is quietly riotous. And, yes, the guffaws are bittersweet.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
A droll, deadpan satire of the professional contempt and personal rancor that breeds in any narrow field.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
At times, the film seems to turn into a microfiche machine, with the story's sections divided by frames thumping past us as if propelled by a researcher, eyes scanning.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
Cedar mines dark humor from the humiliations of identity checks and pecking orders.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
It speaks to anyone who's been on either end of a grudge or family antagonism. And it saves its best for those who have witnessed clusters of the best and brightest descend to the level of grade school kids on the playground.
Detroit News
Tom Long
"Footnote" deals with ambition, isolation, the dangers of too much success and the inevitable gap between generations.
San Francisco Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
Its energy and eccentricity assert themselves in funky graphics, imaginative camerawork and everyday moments of awkwardness and absurdity.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
This is brainy, bravura filmmaking of the highest level, a motion picture that is as difficult to pigeonhole as it is a pleasure to enjoy.
Washington Post
Stephanie Merry
It's not easy to make Eliezer a sympathetic character, yet Bar-Aba's demonstration of fleeting vulnerability awakens inevitable, if equally brief, compassion.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
The film was a nominee for this year's foreign-language Oscar, and Cedar has a real grasp of how to create conflict and generate tension.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Footnote is at its best when it gets into the cutthroat dynamics of academic competition, which are both horrifying and amusing.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Writer and director Cedar does a great job of ratcheting up the tension by filtering the story through a simmering family rivalry.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
This is a film that skims the surface layer of politesse from human interactions and reveals us as the blustering bundles of ego that we all are.
Tablet
J. Hoberman
Everything now in place, Footnote's almost wordless last 15 minutes are exquisitely choreographed.
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
At the last... Footnote is so intelligently and deftly made that we are glad it exists.
The New Yorker
David Denby
Footnote requires little knowledge of Judaism and its texts. Rather, it's about the complications of love, guilt, and rage.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Footnote is a film about the nature of truth, about sacrifice, hubris, hypocrisy. It's nothing short of brilliant.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Writer-director Joseph Cedar's understanding of the many levers of academic politics helps him inject a little steel into the movie; but it's eventually overcome by the mushy father-son drama.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
I've seen the film twice, gladly, and I can't wait to see what Cedar comes up with next.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
In fact, it's one of the smartest and most merciless comedies to come along in a while.
