⭐ Insomniacs Rating: 8/10 THE SUMMARY Cherien Dabis’s ambitious epic spans seventy-five years of Palestinian history, tracing one family’s lineage from the 1948 Nakba in Jaffa to the 1980s Intifada and finally the present day. The story centers on Sharif (played in different stages by Adam and Mohammad Bakri), his son Salim (Saleh Bakri), and grandson Noor. As the vibrant orange groves of their youth are replaced by the stifling reality of checkpoints and military occupation, the film unthreads the psychological cost of generational displacement. It’s a quiet, devastating study of how trauma is passed down like an inheritance and how a family struggles to maintain its dignity when their every move requires a permit. THE PROS The Bakri family provides a winner of a performance, with real-life father Mohammad and his sons Saleh and Adam bringing a sincere, bone-deep authenticity to the screen. Saleh Bakri is especially punchy, conveying a world of "soul-crushing humiliation" with just his eyes in scenes that are genuinely heartbreaking. Director Cherien Dabis, who also stars as Hanan, balances the massive scope of a 145-minute epic with intimate, domestic moments that feel pure quality. It’s an 8/10 because the film avoids being a simple history lecture, focusing instead on the "slow violence" of constraint and the small moral dilemmas that break or bond a family. The final act is epic status—a surprisingly optimistic "sea-facing reunion" that manages to find a sliver of hope amidst the wreckage. THE CONS It earns an 8/10 because the early stages of the film can feel a bit quality-deficient in terms of subtlety, with some Israeli characters written as one-note villains rather than fully realized people. The non-linear structure and four interlaced timelines mean the pacing can feel slightly sluggish in the middle act as you try to keep track of which decade you’re currently inhabiting. It misses a 9/10 mark because some of the dialogue in the 1948 segment feels a bit like a damp squib, leaning on overly sentimental speeches that lack the grit of the modern-day sequences. At nearly two and a half hours, it’s a sincere test of endurance that might feel a touch repetitive in its depiction of daily injustices. THE VERDICT An 8/10. A good movie and highly recommended for anyone looking for a powerful, human-centered historical saga. It’s a winner for its performances and its unflinching look at the cost of displacement. Go and watch it for the scene at the checkpoint—it’s quality cinema that captures a lifetime of frustration in a single moment. This has been a highly anticipated award-season contender for its vulnerable and necessary storytelling. INSOMNIAC TRIVIA • Family Affair: The film features three generations of the Bakri family (Mohammad, Saleh, and Adam), which adds a sincere layer of realism to a story that is literally about fathers and sons. This was the late Mohammad Bakri’s final major performance, making it a proper tribute to his legacy in Palestinian cinema. • Director’s Roots: Cherien Dabis (who directed 'Amreeka') drew directly from the experiences of her own parents and relatives who were displaced from Jaffa. She reportedly spent years interviewing elders to ensure the "orange grove" memories felt punchy and accurate to the period. • Oscar Recognition: The film was selected as Jordan’s official entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 98th Academy Awards. It gained massive momentum after winning audience awards at both the San Francisco and Sydney Film Festivals. THE VIBE Like a crumbling stone wall in a sun-drenched grove. It smells like orange blossoms, old paperwork, and sea salt.
