Excellent

Rating: 10/10 (13 January 2006)

This was one of the most thought provoking movies I have seen in a long time. Spielberg makes us feel uneasy with his ambiguity. That is the point -- there are no easy answers and he is not going to give any. The interesting thing is that the critics of this movie have focused on the politics and not on the movie craft. People take for granted that Spielberg is going to turn out a quality movie. That in itself speaks volumes. The acting and camera work are superb. I especially like Lynn Cohen as Golda -- very convincing. Eric Baena and Jeffrey Rush are great and the the actress who plays his wife is wonderful. The sex scene at the end may have been a bit heavy handed, but not in a distracting way. This movie is a must see.
