Wall Ratings & Reviews
New York Magazine/Vulture
John Leonard
This Special Jury Prize winner at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival has its doubts, rather too tentatively expressed, and its arguments might have been bolstered by considering the recent history of all the other architecture in the killing fields...
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...a thoroughly awful, downright insulting piece of work.
Los Angeles CityBeat
Andy Klein
[There are] numerous shots -- some of them several minutes long -- when there is no talk on the soundtrack....they may be an attempt at some kind of poetic meditation, but they merely come across as dull.

Jordan Hiller
Wall is simply a poorly crafted means to begin the discussion.
Boston Globe
Janice Page
Bitton poses the important questions, but too often she lets powerful responses get lost amid footage that lingers forever on some mundane location shot while interviews are happening mostly off camera.

The problem I have is that it stretches out the minutes like the wall stretches out for miles. It's an interesting subject that would be better served as a documentary short.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
While all this might have made for a potent short subject, the abstract visual monotony begins to wear thin shortly into the 98-minute running time.
Los Angeles Daily News
Bob Strauss
A sad and often lovely lament for something of value lost.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
A deeply personal and unexpectedly poetic film.
L.A. Weekly
Ella Taylor
Bitton is Frederick Wiseman-obsessive about the practical details that make this horrific arrangement work, but she's also an unabashed polemicist.
Compuserve
Harvey S. Karten
Allows audience members to make up their own minds about the efficacy and morality of the wall separating Israel from the West Bank.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
[A] stately, outraged partisan nonfiction film.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
An important human and artistic testament -- a calm meditation on something no one can consider calmly.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
[A] tedious left-wing documentary.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
There's no denying the power of seeing two cultures standing so helplessly on opposite sides of a single fence.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
A film that considers hard-core political realities alongside agonizing personal truths.
Village Voice
Leslie Camhi
Disturbing and compelling.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Bitton's film exists in a contextual vacuum, and without any historical grounding to help one ascertain the reliability of the wall's numerous critics.
Variety
Lisa Nesselson
An eye-opener about the true dimensions -- both physical and mental -- of the barrier being built to divide Palestinian territories from Israel.
