During an era where so many of us are desperately looking for comfort, I can think of no cinematic message more fitting for 2018 than this one. Go to Full Review

There are no easy resolutions here, but Hamoud makes clear that these women - troubled though they may be - will stand strong and defiant and together. Go to Full Review

2.5/4
Although "In Between" depicts a nation in crisis, it's a crisis that's viewed through the intimate lens of family dinners, where generations struggle over conflicting values. Go to Full Review
Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) Feb 13, 2024
Through their romantic entanglements, family strife, and the restrictions places on them as Palestinians living in Israel, Hamoud’s film explores what it is to be a modern woman caught between many intersections of life. Go to Full Review

4/5
What seems like a film of air-punching optimism actually takes a much sadder turn later. But in choosing to take a realist approach to its final act, the director has made a much better film for it. Go to Full Review

Theodore R Jul 29, 2018 Another movie that over represents a pitiful minority attempting to dominate our culture. Keep the muslims out of America and away from our democracy. See more
Rey W May 6, 2018 My opinion--- With: "I'll dance if I want to," Palestinian Maysaloun Hamoud filmed a movie full of life and modesty about the lives of three young Arab women in Tel Aviv. The movie is the symbolic of a generation struggling to replace the enormous taboo traditions that surround the lights of freedom, facing a conformist and intolerant society. The movie itself is a success because in addition to all the obstacles they may encounter, the movie does not fall into the disrespectful because it is filmed with heaps and feelings and the three young people interpret their role with great skill.

Draco R Apr 11, 2018 It is a film about modern, young Palestinian women living in Tel Aviv and their battle with their conservative, traditional, male dominated culture. It offers lots to think about. A really good film. Terrific actors. See more
Draco S Mar 18, 2018 One of my favorite movies. So beautifully done and the women were superb!
Finn R Feb 5, 2018 I didn't see a plot line until I was well into the movie. I'd put the rape and misogynistic behavior up front and then resolve these in grained lifestyles. See more
Han W Jan 6, 2018 Episodic yet powerful portrayal of modern lives which is contemporary and urgent.
