Entertainment Reviews:
One of the most incredible chapters in the war between Israel and Palestine deserves a better movie.
Little White Lies
Rating: 3/5 --
It's a remarkable story, told with slick thriller flair, focusing increasingly on the interdependence of its subjects, who chose personal morality over political rhetoric, with isolating results.

Observer (UK)
THE GREEN PRINCE is a taut piece of work that features just two talking heads: a prized Palestinian informant and his ever-cautious Israeli handler. -- Grade: B
A.V. Club
It's a movie that raises as many questions as it addresses, and which never quite convincingly answers even the most pressing one: Just what made the son of a radical Palestinian-liberation leader go to work as an Israeli spy?

Globe and Mail
Rating: B --
"The Green Prince" is a dramatized documentary based on Yousef's autobiography, "Son of Hamas." And, while I don't particularly care for reenactments, I do believe Israeli filmmaker Nadav Schirman did an excellent job of bringing Yousef's story to film.

Movie Chambers
Rating: 4/5 --
Taut dramatic reconstructions and an extraordinary story of strained allegiances, subterfuge and an unexpected friendship makes the The Green Prince as tense as any Hollywood thriller.
