Lebanon
Lebanon, written and directed by Samuel Maoz, is not just the year's most impressive first feature but also the strongest new movie of any kind I've seen in 2010. Actually, Lebanon—which won the Golden Lion at Venice, after being rejected by Berlin and Cannes, and was shown here at the last New York Film Festival—hardly seems like a debut, perhaps because it's based on a scenario Maoz had been replaying in his head for nearly 30 years.
J. Hoberman, The Village Voice
Lean, focused and unmistakably from the heart, Lebanon proves more gripping and direct than the celebrated and similarly-themed Waltz with Bashir. All of the drama unfolds within the tank—the outside world is glimpsed only through the view-finder—amplifying the claustrophobic vibe that connects viewers with the soldiers.
