You must see this film....

Saw this film a couple of nights ago and I thought it was brilliant. The on-screen relationship between the 2 actors felt very real and the result is a sensitive and emotional film. The subject matter dealt with is highly relevant to the current middle east situation, so I urge everyone to see this film. I believe small films like this have trouble getting distribution compared to some of the trashy, light, money-generating commodities that pass as blockbusters these days. Outrageous! Demand to see this film at your local independent or art-house cinema. Let's support films that make you think, or teach you something about the world as well as entertain!
