A visually stunning, stylistically transcendental and politically audacious indictment of the absurd hostilities and needless wars.

| Oct 26, 2023

Its way of condemning the absurdity of war in three episodes captivates me when I least expect it. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jul 12, 2022

...a tricky narrative that is occasionally over-hyperbolic...

| Oct 16, 2020

Maoz never lets us forget about the bigger picture.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 8, 2020

Foxtrot benefits from a talented supporting cast.

| Jun 2, 2020

[Writer-director Samuel] Moaz is a daring, unpredictable storyteller, and his eccentric plot construction, which also takes into account the son's last days, turns an intimate emotional drama into a larger statement about fate and justice.

| Mar 9, 2020

The absolute precision of the film's construction, from sound, to production design, to cinematography, to the performances is exquisite, and painful because of it.

| Feb 6, 2020

For a film with only three characters, Foxtrot contains a lot of twists and turns. Right up until the bitterly cruel final scene, it never stops surprising. Or perhaps it's a wickedly funny final scene. It's a matter of perspective.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Sep 26, 2019

A heavy-handed approach to the futility of war, Foxtrot aims high but falls short

| Original Score: 5/10 | Mar 8, 2019

It's a clever, funny, unsettling film.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 5, 2019

A film full of mystery and switchbacks is resolved in resounding style.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Mar 4, 2019

Its intensity is too artfully channelled ever to turn into poignancy.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 4, 2019

The film's tastefully constricted aesthetic is enjoyably at odds with its unruly, philosophical themes; the slipperiness of a dual identity, the fragility of war and the relentless manner in which grief can leak into a home's every crevice.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 3, 2019

Foxtrot is a cinematic delight with a profound message at its heart and many striking shots that resonate long after the final credits roll.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 1, 2019

Hellerian surrealism. Slapstick comedy. There are many tones and textures set against two backdrops in Samuel Maoz's long-awaited follow-up to Lebanon.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Mar 1, 2019

Maoz definitely knows how to knock a film together, so fingers crossed that the window between this and his next one is a lot more narrow.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 1, 2019

Foxtrot excels at showing the tedium and dehumanizing effects of military deployment.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 28, 2019

A beautifully shot and ambitiously crafted film about the absurdities of life in Israel.

| Feb 28, 2019

Maoz's writing is matched every step of the way by his direction, and Foxtrot is a properly visionary work.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 27, 2019

Maoz creates a deadpan J'accuse, razor-edged and hugely original. The truth? It is unmissable.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 27, 2019
