Reviews
The German Film and Media Assessment (FBW) justifies its rating "particularly valuable" as follows:
“The majority saw the courageous film with great respect. In her opinion, the escalation of the positions makes him interesting for an audience that is not familiar with all the details of the conflict. The film clearly represents a humanistic perspective that considers reconciliation possible by learning to perceive each other as human beings by working together on the music. This is a message that applies universally and can also be transferred to other conflicts, such as dealing with refugees. The conflict is so diverse that it has to be reduced and not all details can be dealt with. This was achieved very well with a clear and coherent script that goes a long way, but has many important details and strong identifiers. "
The Jüdische Allgemeine attests to the film's realism and tension. Only the scenes in which Jewish and Muslim musicians share their experiences are not very convincing.
The film service judges: “Inspired by the success of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra , founded by Daniel Barenboim in 1999 , the drama aims to tell the story of overcoming resentment through the power of music, but ultimately disappoints. The conflicts and contradictions are developed too schematically, the figures are overdrawn or overloaded with meaning. "
