Lemon Tree (2008)
8/10
bitter lemon

Warning: Spoilers
Those lemons are really bitter to eat but wonderfully painted in this Israeli production.

The sympathy of the director were obviously with Palestinian side, but he was not one-sided at portraying the condition of women in most Islamic countries and that even some Palestinians in the end can make a profit of the oppression.

The Minister of Defense character is a little bit naive in my opinion but this serves the scriptwriter and director goals.

The main conclusion of this movie is that anybody in this sad conflict loses something...in the end, the minister at least lost his wonderful home view to a ugly gray wall.
