Junction 48 Ratings & Reviews
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
Does for the Israeli city of Lod what "8 Mile" aimed to do for the suburbs of Detroit.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Rechtshaffen
An immersive fictionalized portrait of an aspiring rapper struggling to find his voice amid the constant din of long-festering Arab-Israeli tensions.
The Hollywood Reporter
Stephen Dalton
While the fuzzy take-home message of peaceful coexistence is something most viewers can get behind, it is also too simplistic and banal to sustain an entire movie.
Variety
Jay Weissberg
Issues are overly simplified and scenes are often poorly constructed (not helped by uneven editing), though Nafar is a charismatic performer.
We Got This Covered
Lauren Humphries-Brooks
Junction 48 celebrates music as a force for expression and cultural fusion, as Kareem and his friends praise sexuality, love, and the realities of their lives in Lyd as the most profoundly political statements they can make.
Slant Magazine
Keith Watson
At its best, the film demonstrates that no art is more political than that which depicts the lived experience of the oppressed with accuracy, empathy, and moral clarity.
