Let It Be Morning

I really appreciated the understated absurdist humor. It's movie that manages to mine a lot of tension from nothing happening.

There's a lot of things going on in this movie that have a lot of emotional cross-currents. The best thing is Juna Suleiman, who is absolutely extraordinary. Whenever she's on film, the screen trembles with life.

The gentle yet occasionally turbulent comedy by Eran Kolirin, explores personal, social and political conflicts.

Eran Kolirin’s satirical drama is a wily one, filled with layers and deeper context within its relatively simple framework as it relates the complexities of Palestinian-Israeli relations.

Kolirin has a sense for the bleakly surreal, and an ability to balance even the darkest experiences with empathetic shades of gray.

It presents a timely, pointed, at times cleverly satirical snapshot of Israeli-Palestinian relations. It also offers an often poignant look at a dysfunctional family at the center of it all.

Let It Be Morning exists in a stagnant emotional void, a world stifled by the ennui of its main character.

Kolirin is a master of tone and elegant melancholy: “Let It Be Morning” can hold a light mood but be always suspenseful in its suggestion of possible eruptions.

Anchored by Bakri’s complex performance, Let It Be Morning finds way to be both amusing and quietly devastating.

‘Morning’ carries valuable, universal messages, but the film’s listless tone and lingering pace can create struggles for moviegoers.
