Rating: 4.5/5 --
Junction 48 celebrates music as a force for expression and cultural fusion, as Kareem and his friends praise sexuality, love, and the realities of their lives in Lyd as the most profoundly political statements they can make.

We Got This Covered
Junction 48 demands that we allow ourselves to be swept into it...those obstacles are worth overcoming; if you do, you get a chance to experience a work whose unique way of observing current Israeli reality is what gives it validity.

Haaretz
JUNCTION 48 is more than a mere crowd-pleaser, and it refuses easy catharsis, ending with a cliffhanger. But since this is a movie about deciding to act, maybe that’s the perfect note.
New York Times
The charm of the young cast, especially Nafar and Qupty, is the film's strength. When they perform, separately or together, the movie soars.

Playing somewhat like a Middle Eastern 8 MILE, Udi Aloni’s JUNCTION 48 is an immersive fictionalized portrait of an aspiring rapper struggling to find his voice amid the constant din of long-festering Arab-Israeli tensions.
Los Angeles Times
Does for the Israeli city of Lod what "8 Mile" aimed to do for the suburbs of Detroit.
