POSITIVES…
As an intellectual political historical thriller, this is such a relevant film to see when considering current events.
Premise revolves around several meetings that will literally change the world, and this movie captures that importance in full effect.
Part of the entertainment in watching this are the twists and turns on where the narrative takes this story to.
Tonal shifts that will throw you on a loop is perfectly demonstrated by a scene about telling jokes and eating waffles.
That “Declaration Of Principles” montage.
Introduction of Uri Savir is an amazing turning point.
Then the introduction of Joel Singer is also another huge game changer.
For a movie that’s primarily people talking or yelling at each other, this still manages to be quite the gripping story to watch.
Ensemble cast is amazing, and includes Ruth Wilson, Andrew Scott, Salim Dau, Jeff Wilbusch, Waleed Zuaiter, Doval'e Glickman, Igal Naor, plus more.
Appreciated how this film demonstrates the power of diplomacy.
“Garbage and Taxes is what a government does.”
NEGATIVES…
Not exactly the most blockbusters of movies.
It’s basically a talking heads film, which is not for everybody.
Plot shortcuts. Didn’t appreciate them, but I do understand the need for them.
Felt like it kept us in the dark at times, for scenes that I expected to be privy to.
