In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Yariv Mozer was willing to go against Israeli law in interviewing his subjects; on the other hand, his contracts with them required that they be in a safe situation in order for their faces to be shown. To get an idea of just how dangerous it is go be gay in the West Bank, the interviewees were unwilling to give the names of men they had been involved with, even one who was dead! We are permitted to see how NGO's are able to achieve the impossible in getting around inter/national laws and customs in finding safe havens for these men, but also to see how much it costs the men to make the transition.
