The Attack Ratings & Reviews
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Cary Darling
The Israeli-Arab conflict is stripped to its most intensely personal level in The Attack, a haunting and heartbreaking meditation on violence, choice, love and duty that is one of the most remarkable films of the year.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Andrew Wagaman
"The Attack" doesn't force us to pick a side. But it does force us to question our outsiders' hope in conciliation.
Detroit News
Tom Long
"The Attack" is about madness, personal and political, and a tragic overlap of the two beyond understanding.
San Francisco Chronicle
Leba Hertz
Imagine a blissful life taken away: Story of an Arab man who's assimilated into Israeli society but finds out that his wife was a suicide bomber. Nothing new here about the conflict, fair portrayal of the sides, thought provoking without solutions.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
Arouses profound questions about fanaticism, cultural identity, and the essential mystery of other people, even those we think we know best.
RogerEbert.com
Marsha McCreadie
The Attack is the best kind of anti-war propaganda film, calm in feeling and mood, yet truly terrifying in showing the scourge of our age: terrorism, which can strike anybody, anywhere, at any time.
Newsday
John Anderson
Delicately executed thriller balances its political baggage with unflagging suspense.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
As this film demonstrates in so many ways, the intractability of the Arab-Israeli political situation is, to put it mildly, not easily resolved, least of all onscreen.
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
"The Attack" starts out strong and swiftly unravels somewhere past the midpoint.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Though it's never less than involving, it grows in stature as it unfolds and ends as a more subtle and disturbing film about love, loss and tragedy than we might initially expect.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Answers prove more elusive than the questions.
The Playlist
Jessica Kiang
What results is a film very much aimed at a Western audience, that is surefooted and fearless even as it ventures deeper and deeper into the dark heart of one of the most defining and complex conflicts of our time.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
It's an accomplished drama anchored by an understated, captivating performance from an actor who fills nearly every frame of every scene.
Film Comment Magazine
Emma Myers
The result is a quiet power-so quiet in fact that the score is almost non-existent-that never risks sentimentality or exploitation.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
Screenwriters Ziad Doueiri and Joelle Touma pull quite a few punches here, making the doctor improbably naive about Israeli-Palestinian tensions so that his transformation seems profound.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Remarkably accomplished and self-confident.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
The Attack spreads the blame around for what is undeniably a nasty situation, any way you look at it.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
[An] intelligent, involving movie that's by turns a murder mystery and a politically charged argument about contemporary Palestinian identity.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
Suliman, who plays Amin, also starred in Paradise Now, and it's no stretch to say The Attack is the most urgent, unblinking movie about the Israeli-Palestinian divide since that 2005 stunner.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
This doleful and nuanced Middle Eastern tragedy is unlike any other recent film from the region in various ways.
