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

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

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

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

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?

| Oct 17, 2014

The movie's empty pizzazz is especially irritating because the story would have been compelling without any embellishment.

| Oct 16, 2014

It's a harrowing tale of intrigue and betrayal, but also one of a friendship that survives despite extraordinary circumstances.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 16, 2014

[A] gripping documentary set against the internecine battle between Israel and Palestine.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 9, 2014

This a film that leaves many unanswered questions, but it's nonetheless satisfying, because it resonates emotionally and offers a ray of hope that the human spirit has the ability to trump entrenched political perspectives.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 9, 2014

These interviews complement rather than contradict each other.

| Original Score: B+ | Sep 19, 2014

The Green Prince is an extraordinary achievement. It has all the suspense of a great espionage yarn, but it's also a powerful moral document that calls into question the tactics of terrorism.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 19, 2014

It takes a personal rather than a political perspective, exploring the ambiguities of truth and individual identity rather than the complexities of an ongoing historical calamity.

| Sep 18, 2014

The story plays well regardless of what one's opinion is about the conflict, because it primarily operates on the more universal, relatable aspects of human nature.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 12, 2014

Though it's set in the context of a highly combustible international situation, its emphasis is always on the personal, on these two men and what they came to mean to each other.

| Sep 11, 2014

If "The Green Prince" sustains the tension of a well-executed thriller, it is achieved at the cost of a dispassionate objectivity.
