In Damascus, a mother attempts to keep her family safe as war rages and a sniper lies in wait outside her home.

Critics Consensus

Limited in setting but impressive in scope, In Syria uses one group's experiences to offer a brilliantly effective indictment of the horrors of war.

Chamber drama doesn't begin to describe this gripping French feature.

"In Syria" is a finely made film - brisk, well-acted and filled with tension and mean twists. But it's also a wake-up call and a cry for help.

Rated: A

Any narrative improbability or twinges of melodrama are overcome both by the striking performances and the visceral, immersive filmmaking.

There are no simple answers, but with this set-up and its development, [Philippe] Van Leeuw gives us a lot to imagine and question.

Insyriated allows audiences to see a personal story that goes beyond the newspaper headlines we may have become desensitized to, a brief portrait of a life and not just a statistic.

...the real horror of war is not found in the bloodletting of combat... but in the individualized toll it takes on simple people - human beings reduced to their basest survival instincts...

Rated: 4/4

I relived my life in war torn Lebanon as I watched this movie. Beautiful acting of Hyam Abbas and Diamand Abouabboud. Van Leew was able to give us the ambiance of locking ourselves inside our homes while bombs are exploding left and rigt around us.

Very good movie that captures the reality of the Syrian war and its relevance in the day-to-day life of a Syrian family under siege. As a Syrian watching this movie, it is chilling for me to think that such atrocities probably happened. All the characters of the movie adequately depict the reality of a Syrian family: from the East-Asian nanny to the young liberal teenagers to the nice bonding grandson-grandfather moments!
