Miral Ratings & Reviews
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Combining narrative heavy-handedness with an airy disdain for the details of the situation, director Julian Schnabel gives us a one-sided view of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in "Miral."
Detroit News
Tom Long
Miral has the pedigree, the attitude, the weighty subject matter. It's just not much of a movie.
Washington Post
Sean O'Connell
What "Miral" lacks in performance art, Schnabel attempts to replace with design.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
The director injects some showy images into the mix but, without a defined frame for Schnabel to paint in, "Miral" is an unholy mess.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
The film seeks to humanize a seemingly unwinnable conflict, and it succeeds at that. But stepping back sadly weakens its story as well as its politics.
MSN Movies
Glenn Kenny
...is [Schnabel] being this indulgent because he can't fully engage the noncommittal material, or are we just noticing the indulgences more because the material's so noncommittal?
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
It's a miniseries awkwardly stuffed in the body of a two-hour drama about the Palestinians' long struggle against the Israelis.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Like so many other well-intentioned movies about politically contentious issues, it is hobbled by its own sincerity and undone by a confused aesthetic agenda.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
The lack of a compelling lead figure, combined with Schnabel's tentative approach to the material, casts the film's later stretches in the balmy glow of soap opera.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
At once open-eyed and myopic, skillful and meandering...
USA Today
Claudia Puig
The film aspires to be epic, spanning 1947 to 1994, but the stories don't always cohere.
AV Club
Sam Adams
Schnabel seems cowed by his subject matter, and it doesn't help that Jebreal adapted her own book. There's no one to impose a shape on the film...
Movieline
Stephanie Zacharek
Schnabel is out of his element here. His movie comes off as a stiff lesson plan; his gift for subtlety seems temporarily lost.
Slant Magazine
Bill Weber
Meant to celebrate the heroism of Palestinian women, Julian Schnabel's decades-spanning drama is mostly stilted and incomplete.
Film Comment Magazine
Scott Foundas
Schnabel dedicates Miral to "everyone on both sides who still believes peace is possible"-a noble sentiment, to be sure, but will anyone on either side really see themselves reflected in such a simplistic, ham-fisted treatment?
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
The last thing propaganda should do is make its audience work. "Miral" is a lot of work.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
Miral plays like an art project that took a wrong turn somewhere between Soho and Ramallah. It seems the Middle East is unstable ground not just for diplomats, but for aesthetes as well.
Associated Press
Christy Lemire
Schnabel's attempt at depicting this longtime, bloody friction from the Palestinian point of view -- and with a conciliatory tone -- is admirable; if only it had been more compelling.
Village Voice
Nick Pinkerton
Miral is a very flat, fuddled movie, an at-odds-with-itself partisan work, its convictions diffused in a warm soak of style.
Variety
Justin Chang
Schnabel's signature blend of splintered storytelling and sobering humanism feels misapplied to this sweeping multigenerational saga of four Arab women living under Israeli occupation.
