[Portman] has filmed the book according to its emotional meaning to her, and that's fine. What she hasn't done is whip it into shape as a compelling movie.

Boston Globe
It is an interesting choice for a filmmaker's debut... However, after watching, it seems like no one else could have pulled off this striking balance between romance and melancholy as well as Portman.

Rating: 3/4 --
While A Tale of Love and Darkness is often difficult to watch -- because of all the sadness it presents -- it is also a beautiful film in that it makes us think about existing in a world where we do not completely fit in.

Chicago Sun-Times
A Tale of Love and Darkness isn't a great film, but a respectable and commendable one that shows a lot of promise for the continued evolution of Portman's career.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
A Tale of Love and Darkness loses itself in dreamy imagery, in its studiously crafted aesthetic. But there are times when Portman lets the toughness, the tenacity, the emotional heart of Oz's story shine through.

Philadelphia Inquirer
3 stars out of 4 -- [E]very frame of A TALE OF LOVE AND DARKNESS reflects Portman's passionate striving and her grieving heart.
Rolling Stone
Actors gravitate toward passion projects, films they care deeply, even obsessively about, but the end result is hardly ever as convincing as A TALE OF LOVE AND DARKNESS, a film of beautiful melancholy written, directed by and starring Natalie Portman.
Los Angeles Times
Product Description:
Natalie Portman makes her directorial debut with this adaptation of Israeli novelist Amos Oz's memoir about his bittersweet childhood and his parents' relationship. Young Amos (Amir Tessler) vows never to become a writer like his grim father (Gilad Kahana), and instead has great sympathy for his romantic, literature-loving mother Fania (Portman), whom he understands has married beneath her station. Her stories about her life in Poland before her marriage, and her dashed dreams about a lover more suited to her delicate nature, are told against the backdrop of Jerusalem's liberation from British rule.
