    A superb documentary, Mayor is well worth a watch
  • Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
    Really engaging film. Surprisingly funny at times (literally laugh out loud).but more often rage inducing at the injustices of the Occupation and the unfairness for people who just want to be allowed to live their lives with dignity.

    This is a harrowing look at the dire situation in Palestine mainly through the eyes of Musa Hadid, mayor of Palestinian city Ramallah. It's just unreal to live anywhere freely and not be free. I didn't know a lot about this situation, but by all accounts it's sad and mostly bleak. Let's hope for peace and understanding. This was a really good film that I'm sure it just touching the surface of what's happening. Final Score: 8/10

    If you are thinking of buying or renting this movie, do it, it is worth the price. David Osit does a fantastic job balencing tension with black comedy. It shows how the Palestinians are suffering under Israeli occupation with no bias towards the Israelis.

    This film staggered me. The ending made me feel things I couldn't put into emotions and I just stared at my screen for 20 minutes. Loved this film and will never stop thinking about it.

    One of the most powerful documentaries I've ever seen. Osit does an exceptional job of capturing Ramallah through the daily life of the titular character, Mayor Musa Hadid, while at the same time creating an ambitious, often funny, and aesthetically pleasing film.
