Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times A chilling portrait of how fanaticism can grow and be enabled, this is a matter-of-fact film that moves with an awful inexorability toward its foregone conclusion. Feb 7, 2020 Full Review Jonathan Romney Film Comment Magazine Incitement is an extremely interesting film because of the story it tells, and is altogether watchable-but it's rather lacking in lightness, humor, or grace. Rated: 6/10 Feb 3, 2020 Full Review Nell Minow RogerEbert.com Director/co-screenwriter Yaron Zilberman deftly blends archival footage with scenes of Yigal becoming increasingly committed to murdering the Prime Minister. Rated: 3/4 Jan 31, 2020 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix The movie is not intended to sway people in one way or the other, politically or religiously. Instead, it is a wake-up call about being more diligent about warning signs that show how someone can turn from being a hate-talking extremist into a murderer. Jul 13, 2020 Full Review Sarah Boslaugh TheArtsStl Amir is portrayed with such great humanity by Yehuda Nahari, who creates a character that is sincere, charming, and yet increasingly frightening. Rated: 7/10 May 26, 2020 Full Review Lisa Trifone Third Coast Review Zilberman creates something of a slow burn over the course of the film's two hours, making its final moments all the more dramatic. Rated: 3.5/4 Apr 18, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

dave d Yaron Zilberman's first film since 2012 wasn't worth the wait. Frankly it was a slog early and it's way too long and there is one major question. Does this glorify a horrific human or does it show how someone can be radicalized? Your enjoyment may may determined by the answer to that. Frankly, there are plenty of things better to do with your time. Final Score: 3.7/10 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review brent m This occasionally-thrilling, though often-overwrought and somewhat overlong film detailing the 1995 assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, as told from the viewpoint of his killer, baffles as much as it illuminates. With the exception of a handful of scenes in which assassin Yigal Amir is discouraged by family and friends for his views and plans, his actions otherwise are more glorified than condemned, while the right-wing nature of his politics (and his reasoning for shooting Rabin) is shrilled all out of proportion, almost to the point of sheer annoyance. Filmmaker Yaron Zilberman's treatment of the material is indeed odd, even if technically well orchestrated. But, despite this technical proficiency, one can't help but wonder what exactly the director was going for here -- or why there even needed to be a picture addressing this subject in this manner at this time. Quite a puzzle, to be sure. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Lew D I am not an educated person in the inner political landscape inside Israel but it was a very interesting movie that gave me some perspective, although I am sure it had its own perspective. Really liked it!!! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/20 Full Review Noah C Beautifully made movie. Very heavy topic. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/20 Full Review Sammo Although it concentrated on a single person, the talented young law student who had gone extreme, leading him to assassinate Rabin, it was very well acted, esp. this central character. Intensely, it showed how this youngster went off the cliff. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/20 Full Review AW Intense. Really makes the point of how Amir became radicalized and the question of what might have if he was not successful Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/20 Full Review Read all reviews
