In Between

"(In Between) makes its points with an impressive mixture of clarity and nuance."

"What is most intriguing about In Between is how each woman is allowed to make mistakes and learn from them without any judgment on Hamoud's part."

"The film... can’t bridge the distance between the tragic circumstances its characters face and the rigid, somewhat didactic ways they’re depicted."

"Unexpected yet credible detail keeps the film from feeling overly schematic, even though its characters are somewhat two-dimensional..."

"Hamoud’s unhurried, restrained visual style, allows for tension, emotion, and meaning to build together."

"Concise yet enthralling."

"In Between is a great film.... It’s not always uplifting but it is compassionate and intelligent."

"Hamoud keeps the tone relatively light, the women's wit and vibrancy accentuated by a brisk pace and Itay Gross's colorful cinematography."

"Balancing tragicomic relationship blues with sharp sociopolitical observation, Hamoud’s slyly subversive drama draws us deep into an often hidden world."

"What makes this spiky dramedy so compelling are the Palestinian-Israeli protagonists, whose split lives have rarely been depicted on screen."

"Engaging, if at times stagey..."

"In Between provides a glimpse of the battle faced by women of a younger generation with a crucial fighting spirit."

"An end to stereotyped Palestinian women."
