5/5
Clever, ironic and overwhelmingly human, Sublet shows us what happens when we're taken out of our comfort zone, and teaches us a valuable lesson in love.

The watchability of Fox’s film emanates from the connection between its two leads.

The film is pleasantly languid in its unhurried exploration of intergenerational connection and how the shortest-lived relationships can be the most profound.

Synthetizes the affective and acute tribulations that may be experienced by individuals that come from two different generations, lifestyles, and appearances, and yet still find alliance and common ground. [Full review in Spanish]

Everything is laid on the table, homosexuality, pansexuality, amorous age gaps, and stereotypical family dynamics. Yet, unfortunately, Fox seems more interested in exploring Michael's journey as a homosexual dad in a conventional way...

Detailing a love affair between two men in the Israeli Army, Sublet remains a daring and much-admired film.

Fox (and co-writer Itay Segal) clearly like these two men and want us to enjoy our time with them. And we do. You don't have to be gay or Israeli to appreciate Sublet.

An engrossing and gentle story about friendship, love and, above all, human beings.

The brilliance here is that Fox takes the classic will-they-or-won't-they gambit and...employs it as a means of exploring his characters.

A gentle, funny, moving work about a temporary but useful friendship, and sometimes that's all one needs.

Sunny, seriocomic Sublet is an easy-enough watch, but it struck me as a little vapid.

There's a raw and honest intimacy that's heartbreaking to behold and unique. The two leads are fantastic.

With a light touch and charm to burn, Sublet gently builds to the point where both men experience a deep emotional shift -- and, together, achieve that wonderful exhortation from E. M. Forster's Howards End: "Only connect."

... captures its working-class setting through the eyes of its richly textured characters, while the screenplay effectively weaves humor into an exploration of isolation and grief.

So subtle is the romantic feeling in the Tel Aviv-set gay drama Sublet, that you might not feel a thing.

It isn't bad, per se, but I just never felt the emotional impact it's clearly hoping to achieve.

The story of two people surmounting the generation gap between them has been done for many, many years...Here, there is a nice chemistry between Michael and Tomer as they both learn and grow in their brief time together.

It's an evocative film that creeps up on you in unpredictably tender ways, so prepare to shed a tear or two - or three.
