Summary
Reviewers say 'Amira' has faced criticism for its portrayal of Palestinian prisoners, with accusations of misrepresentation and defamation. Critics argue it undermines the Palestinian cause and the sacrifices of detainees, finding the narrative implausible and melodramatic. Campaigns to lower its ratings and prevent screenings have emerged, with calls for boycotts. Despite this, some praise the film for its compelling narrative and powerful commentary on human conditions and geopolitical dynamics.

This is one of the worst films (if you wanna call it that) I have ever seen in my life. As long as you have the tiniest respect for the human struggle for freedom and basic rights, you will not be able to stand how far it goes to slander prisoners and their families in some of the most atrocious ways perceivable, at least as far as Palestinians are concerned. You will also notice they made sure the contrived feelings and tawdry drama are pumped into every scene to ingratiate this work with a wider, mostly unaware, base.
It is beyond me how this debacle can be nominated for any award besides worst film of the year.

This movie tries to implant wrong thoughts and assumptions about the Palestinians who are born through this way considering them coming from Israeli Soldiers not the Palestinians who are imprisoned in the Israeli prisons which lead to trust issues between the Palestinians as a community.
It distorts the image of the heroic prisoners, destroys the morale of their families. This act is a disgrace to Arab drama.
Go to hell.

Very bad movie don't watch it, stupid movie.
The story is just a distortion of the real heroes.
Don't let this movie succeed because it really isn't worth it.

Some people make movies in the name of supporting Palestinians struggle under occupation, to make the movie go viral or to get nominations they lie, bend the truth, or deform the reality, the result is a sick movie that harm the just case of Palestinians and hurt the people who are already suffering the consequences of occupation instead of delivering their voice to the world with truth. This is one of the worst.
