Let It Be Morning

Eran Kolirin's gentle but pointed comedy won't match the success of his 2007 breakout, but has thoughtful pleasures to offer.

Let It Be Morning may not have the broad appeal of Kolirin's The Band's Visit, but it's a quietly atmospheric piece of work with moments of comedy and pathos.

Visually and dramatically, Kolirin makes the most of an increasingly claustrophobic setting heated by rising internal tensions...

Mildly engaging and not as funny or witty as Tel Aviv on Fire nor as searing and brilliant as The Time That Remains, but it's nonetheless a tender, gently humorous and bittersweet tragicomedy.

One fact few rational people will argue with: no country is secure without borders and restricted, legal immigration, rules almost every country on the planet except the U.S. seems to understand, embrace, and enforce.

The film features many striking moments, a standout watching Mira dance to The Dead Weather's 'I Cut Like a Buffalo'… may not enjoy the success of the crowd pleasing “Band’s Visit,” but it is the more thought-provoking film.

Like the writer-director’s prior hit, this is an elegantly crafted, low-key, deadpan, melancholy sort of comedy.

An intimate, delicate yet incisive multi-character comedic drama of classism, communal power dynamics, the broken dream of freedom, and the struggle for identity.
