Free Zone Reviews
Seattle Times
Jeff Shannon
A rambling road movie with noble intentions and an excess of speechifying.
Dallas Morning News
Philip Wuntch
Much of the dialogue is didactic and pedantic. And when not didactic and pedantic, it's plodding and dull.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
A minor movie on a major subject, a drama with an almost unbearable lightness.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
It's a nice crying jag by Natalie Portman, but there's not much else here to recommend.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
[A] fractious film from thorny filmmaker Amos Gitai.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
Free Zone suffers from too-much-information syndrome, stalling out now and again from its tangled narrative wiring and an overload of emotional freight.
Denver Rocky Mountain News
Robert Denerstein
The movie -- a metaphor for the tangled, impossible state of Israeli/Palestinian relations -- only intermittently clicks.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
The film is diluted by the use of flashbacks superimposed over present-time scenes. The result is visual chaos.
AV Club
Noel Murray
Gita has no real interest in who these women are beyond their symbolic resonance.
Paste Magazine
Robert Davis
There's an art to ambiguity -- there really is... Left to their own devices, viewers will fill in the blanks, but when the movie starts filling them in itself, you have to wonder about the mismatch.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Amos Gitai's long-winded essay revolves around the interaction of three women, an American, an Israeli and a Palestinian, on a car trip from Israel to Jordan.
Boxoffice Magazine
Sheri Linden
With characters more often than not functioning as mouthpieces, audiences might feel like involuntary passengers trapped in the backseat.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
The milieu he chooses -- essentially one long, queerly prosaic car ride to nowhere -- robs the film of much of its dramatic force.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Addressing conflict by conflicting itself, Free Zone's effect is almost avant-garde.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
The message is made clear within the first 10 minutes, leaving us with about 80 minutes of thematic repetition.
Village Voice
Jessica Winter
Per usual, Gitai largely eschews exposition, but his reticence sits awkwardly beside his penchant for saddling his deliberately stereotyped figures with trite, unwieldy speeches and symbolic-ironic biographical data.
Hollywood Reporter
Duane Byrge
Visually, Free Zone resembles a home movie in which an overly enthusiastic vacationer records every moment of a mundane trip.
Variety
Derek Elley
[The] set-up is given a human face by fine performances and a physical journey that's often more interesting than the characters' emotional ones.
Bangitout.com
Jordan Hiller
While Portman does outshine everyone and everything on screen and though she certainly gets credit for making the rsum sacrifice in the spirit of embracing her heritage, Free Zone does nothing for her in return
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
...despite a provocative climax, the movie settles into a ponderous collection of soliloquies...
