Maoz’ film er et trøstesløst portræt af krigshandlingen.

...an immersive war-movie experience like "The Hurt Locker," but turned inside out.

...it's cinema from the heart, without doubt...

They are a combustible mix, and the actors, aided by the nimble cinematographer Giora Bejach, ably convey the griminess and gaspingness of their quarters.
