AICE Israeli Film Festival 2007
The absence of the slightest ray of hope means the audience can't allow themselves to pray for the best... the atmosphere is stifling. Even Aviva gradually loses her ability to smile and laugh at the events that must surely overwhelm her.

Shemesh has obtained total honesty from her subjects, particularly Lena who ranges from abrupt and dismissive to wistful and considerate. Minya still thinks back to her past, and scenes featuring her return to her childhood home in Poland are extremely moving.

In planning to make a documentary about a group of primary school-aged children, surely one would choose kids who are even remotely likeable. It is really only the hapless Ben-Zion who evokes any emotion in the audience other than annoyance.

Things Behind the Sun is an effective drama, though it frustrates by leaving some of the narrative strands unfinished. To have some parts of a feature wrapped up neatly, and others left hanging, is supremely frustrating.
