In the Occupied West Bank of the 1980s, a Palestinian teenager is swept into a protest that changes the course of his family’s life. Reeling from its aftermath, his mother, Hanan (played by writer-director Cherien Dabis), shares the story that led them to that fateful moment, going back to the Arab-Israeli War of 1948, when the boy’s grandfather (Adam Bakri) elects to stay put in Jaffa to look after the orange groves and entreat for peace, even as his family and neighbours flee their homeland. Spanning seven decades, this epic drama traces the hopes and heartaches of one Palestinian family across three generations.
Jordan’s submission for the Academy Awards, and an audience favourite at multiple festivals, All That’s Left of You makes the most of its epic format to impart a coherent history lesson while tracking the psychological impact of cycles of exile and oppression.
Searing, honest and soul crushing.
Tomris Laffly, Variety
A deeply painful, necessary watch that confronts the way cruelty and repression leaves deep, lasting wounds over lifetimes.
Chase Hutchinson, The Wrap
It matures into a more considered, moving tale that effectively blends the personal and the political.
