Here lies an intriguing story that calls to mind John Le Carré at his murky best, yet what we are given is the self justification and propaganda.

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

The truths "The Green Prince" reveals about family, friendship, and betrayal don't only matter on the West Bank and its artistry will live on even if peace between Israel and Hamas is eventually accomplished.

| Feb 16, 2018

I suppose the basic truth of this film - that support of terrorism negates all shred of political virtue - is too powerful to ignore.

"The Green Prince" is a dramatized documentary based on Yousef's autobiography, "Son of Hamas." And, while I don't particularly care for reenactments, I do believe Israeli filmmaker Nadav Schirman did an excellent job of bringing Yousef's story to film.

| Original Score: B | Jan 25, 2015

Though no film really has a hope of untangling the complexities of the conflict, this succeeds in putting a human face on them.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 15, 2014

It's a remarkable story, told with slick thriller flair, focusing increasingly on the interdependence of its subjects, who chose personal morality over political rhetoric, with isolating results.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 14, 2014

Schirman, a young Israeli film-maker, has gotten hold of an extraordinary espionage story and - how could he not? - turned it into an undeniably gripping documentary.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 13, 2014

Depending on your perspective, Nadav Schirman's troubling documentary is either a story about heroism and friendship or a study in extreme treachery and bad faith.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 12, 2014

Taut dramatic reconstructions and an extraordinary story of strained allegiances, subterfuge and an unexpected friendship makes the The Green Prince as tense as any Hollywood thriller.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 12, 2014

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 11, 2014

Gripping stuff.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 11, 2014

One of the most incredible chapters in the war between Israel and Palestine deserves a better movie.

Full Review | Dec 11, 2014

Together with artfully filmed re-enactments creepily evoking his jail terms and interrogations, they retrace the route he took in his transformation from young Arab activist to political conspirator.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 10, 2014

Sketchy, overly simplistic, and invested to a rather tasteless extent in the Hollywood-friendly thrills and spills of its story.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 8, 2014

Unfortunately, the film raises more questions than it answers.

| Dec 4, 2014

It's a riveting story, weaving together a story of two men's psychological and emotional journeys under the blanket of espionage

| Nov 29, 2014

This is very powerful stuff, but what you ultimately make of it will have a lot to do with the politics you bring to watching it.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 23, 2014

A gripping tale of espionage and friendship beyond borders, The Green Prince is a pleasant surprise and most definitely worth a watch.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Oct 17, 2014

They tell their stories with passion and intensity, making the most of every word.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 17, 2014

It's a movie that raises as many questions as it addresses, and which never quite convincingly answers even the most pressing one: Just what made the son of a radical Palestinian-liberation leader go to work as an Israeli spy?
