What makes "Synonyms" so compelling is how it explores the theme of identity through a lens of searing self-reflection.

Nadav Lapid's unpredictable third feature recalls the Portland Trilogy by Gus Van Sant as the film thrives on isolated characters, unscrupulous situations, and the temerity of youth.

The Victoria Advocate
[M]averick Israeli auteur Nadav Lapid deserves credit for making his third feature, SYNONYMS such a unique and bristling take on the Paris experience.

A beautiful relationship with Bernardo Bertolucci's films is transposed. [Full review in Spanish]

El antepenúltimo mohicano
[T]he film is an excoriation of Israel’s militant machismo and a self-teasing parody of Parisian stereotypes, embodied by actor Tom Mercier in this astonishingly audacious debut.
Variety
[Mercier] cuts a startling figure. A performer seemingly without a lot of inhibition, he gives his character Yoav a swagger no matter what his condition.
