Total Count: 9
Rating: 3/4 --
A spare and provocative debut feature, one that sucks you in even as Itay Tal introduces more challenging ideas than he could possibly address fully in 80 spare minutes.

Rating: B --
While the film's story is the stuff of ripe family melodrama, Tal's stylistic approach is closer to that of a chilly European psychological thriller.

The Lens
Rarely does a debut feature showcase a talent so fully formed. This is a remarkably potent film.

The piano music is so good you might wish that this 80-minute look at a helicopter parent would go on another half hour.

A precise drama of ruthlessly and cruelly ambitious people clambering over each other for their own moments of recognition and adulation.

Rating: 4/5 --
An elegant and disturbing family drama that has echoes of Michael Haneke: it's a film with a shard of ice lodged in its heart.

Product Description:
Naama Preis, Andy Levi, and Ze'ev Shimshoni co-star in writer-director Itay Tal's intergenerational drama. Anat (Preis) is a concert pianist who goes to extraordinary lengths to ensure that her gifted son Idam - who was born with a hearing impairment - attains the piano prodigy status that eluded her. Professional accomplishment proves to be inextricable from kinship in a family of competitive musicians.
