'From the milk we drank together, something of my blood, my life is in you,' Musa tells Danae, and explains more about this moving portrait than any political debate could.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 21, 2005

Becomes an odd companion piece to the stunning Capturing the Friedmans, one of the most disturbing chronicles of family dysfunction ever documented.

Slim, heartbreaking film.

The man at its heart is a 76-year-old Palestinian named Musa, and if he and we are never quite sure what the movie is truly about it's still a pleasure to make his acquaintance.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 10, 2005

Layered, loving and deeply personal.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 9, 2005

Compelling with its inside-out look at the crisis of the Middle-East, even if there is a fair bit of narcissism involved.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 5, 2005

A work of powerful humanism that could unsettle entrenched points of view.

Elon presumably intends to send a positive message about individual relationships transcending politics, but the film leaves too much unsaid to do so.

| May 13, 2005

Full of heart-rending moments, in which people of good faith search for answers to what, in the end, remain painfully irreconcilable questions.

| May 13, 2005

Fascinating in its reticence, pic's honest, well-intentioned exploration involving two families fearlessly emerges with a far different picture than was originally envisioned.

Touching, painful and powerfully affecting, Another Road Home is an amazing achievement of personal filmmaking.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | May 5, 2005

Deftly folded into the extraordinary documentary Another Road Home are an official story and an unofficial one, each with its own calculus of love and pain, braided together with uncommon delicacy and courage.

Well-intended and often poignant film that, unfortunately, too often bogs down in too much talk by its participants.

'The personal is political' may be primarily associated with feminism, but it practically defines the Israeli filmmaker Danae Elon's fascinating journey into her past.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 28, 2005

What's remarkable about her film, in addition to its many moments of genuine spontaneity and emotion, is how much she learns along the way -- about families, patriarchy, intellect and anger.

[A] moving film.
