See No Other Land, and something chronically labelled “complicated” becomes simple.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 2, 2025

No Other Land is a maddening film that exposes how cruel is the daily life of a people treated as invaders in their own nation. [Full review in Portuguese]

| Original Score: 5/5 | Mar 12, 2025

What is most moving is seeing how this everyday reality of eviction and resistance, of building and rebuilding, contrasts with another everyday reality that people want to have, which is to have a normal life. [Full review in Spanish]

Though undoubtedly grave, this stark film finds heart and humanity in the relationship that develops between Adra and Abraham, and in the dignity with which the citizens of Masafer Yatta resist their gradual expulsion.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 4, 2025

The more of this documentation, the better.

No Other Land is a hopeful film. It is a reminder that no matter how dark a situation may be, meaningful change can and will happen as long as you keep fighting.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Mar 1, 2025

Neither Basel nor Yuval have answers, but they have hope – and it is that hope which makes No Other Land a galvanising and imperative piece of documentary filmmaking.

| Original Score: A | Mar 1, 2025

What Adra, Abraham and company put on screen can only be justified by those who have irremediably lost their humanity. For the rest, it will be a shocking experience, perhaps even emotionally painful. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 28, 2025

No Other Land makes an effective argument against tying yourself into geopolitical knots with its simple, cross-cultural moral clarity.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 28, 2025

As it stands, the feature offers something that rightfully feels urgent in its design, and within specific contexts, it is crucial to better understand how those involved are contending with such extreme circumstances in a way others are not.

It’s true that the courageous Israeli-Palestinian collective behind this work of activism – because it’s more than just a film – have made a movie that hovers above any other documentary I’ve seen this year, and, in many ways, is the best thing I’ve seen.

| Original Score: A | Feb 26, 2025

Credit goes to Basel Adra, Hamdan Ballal, Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor for shooting, writing, directing, and editing this powerful documentary, putting their lives on the line for the people of Masafer Yatta struggling to live on No Other Land.

...in short, [the film documents] the will to force men, women and children into a total scarcity of services, pushing them into despair and forced to voluntarily abandon...their own territory and that of their ancestors. [Full review in Spanish]

With an unflinching honesty and a camera willing to keep rolling when, for their own safety, it probably shouldn't, No Other Land captures the reality of what's been going on in that region of the world

| Original Score: 4/4 | Feb 21, 2025

Its very existence is deeply moving. Its excellence, however, makes it worthy of its awards.

| Feb 20, 2025

Unlike many social-issue documentaries that come off as glorified news reports, No Other Land is immersive and cinematic, anchored by central figures who form an unlikely friendship and alliance.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 20, 2025

This movie presents just one side the the dispute and doesn't even begin to cover all the history, legalities and controversies involved. It just shows us the suffering of some people in a small, disputed area of land, and it does that well.

| Original Score: B | Feb 17, 2025

It boggles the mind (and moral compass)...

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 13, 2025

A devastating film.

| Feb 11, 2025

It's powerful, enraging, and it's frustrating that it doesn't have a distributor.
