Review of Free Zone

Free Zone (2005)

Being called mediocre would be a compliment
6 February 2006
I only wanted to see this because Natalie Portman was in it, but it wasn't worth it. This is a low-budget film that pretends to be high concept, to make up for the banal dialogue and empty story.

This isn't an "art film", it's a bad film. Having long drawn out sequences with seemingly no purpose or end, may be a hallmark of "art films" but this doesn't have anything of interest that follows it. This is the Israeli version of Lost in Translation.

I don't like going around bashing films but there aren't a lot of reviews for this film and I wouldn't want anyone going in and blowing money on it, expecting a well written small independent film. They hired a cameraman but forgot to hire a writer.
