Rating: C --
O Jerusalem is as overstated and expository as a historical pageant, from the drippy music to a sputtering, running gag involving funky old jalopies to clichéd speeches and teary-eyed deaths and a final voice-over crying out for peace.
Baltimore Sun
Rating: 1/5 --
As a history lesson, the film is so elementary and silly that you'd half-expect to find Mr. Peabody and Sherman peeking around the Wailing Wall.

Even with its flaws, the film finds many moving moments as it surveys the ravages of a perpetually divided country.

The filmmakers split time between history and personal drama in ways that do full service to neither.
Chicago Tribune
Rating: 2/4 --
It aspires to be an epic drama but suffers from an acute identity crisis: It can't decide if it wants to be history, drama, or a cry for peace in the Mideast.
