Afterward

No matter, it's a timely and essential portrait.

While Bloch's emotions and thoughts about the Holocaust and the Israeli occupation are deeply felt, the documentary's finer points are a little less clear.

[Bloch is] an excellent interviewer, asking difficult questions about what her subjects think of Israel, the Holocaust and the Jewish people, then carefully considering the answers.

Painful but essential.

... commendably even-handed and persuasive thanks to some thoughtful subjects.

This film is therapy for all involved.

By being willing to subject herself to the same analysis as others, [Ofra] Bloch gives the viewer more room to appreciate the ubiquity of the problem, and the opportunity to account for any bias she may have.

As a filmmaker, psychotherapist Bloch puts Germany, Israel and the Palestinians on the couch and lets them see the one awful memory that binds them - trauma.
