"The Attack" doesn't force us to pick a side. But it does force us to question our outsiders' hope in conciliation.

Imagine a blissful life taken away: Story of an Arab man who's assimilated into Israeli society but finds out that his wife was a suicide bomber. Nothing new here about the conflict, fair portrayal of the sides, thought provoking without solutions.
Leba Hertz, San Francisco Chronicle
