Rating: 2/4 --
Interesting subject -- Israeli Jews loathing Israel's politics but unsure of where to go to escape it -- but a maddening muddle of a movie.

Movie Nation
The idea is interesting but the implementation is uneven in "Back to the Fatherland," a documentary that looks at two generations of Israelis: one is hopeful, the other wary.

New York Times
Several engaging main characters and warm cross-generational relationships can't quite offset patchy storytelling and uncertain aims in "Back to the Fatherland."

Los Angeles Times
...the question becomes not how can Israel and the younger generations of Jews move on from the trauma of the Holocaust, but is moving on even possible?

The Pop Break
The complicated historical and cultural ideas that Back to the Fatherland tackles are worthy of a deep dive, but unfortunately, this film isn't it.

This film tells the tale of grandparents and their grandchildren. Some who live in Israel and some who have moved to Germany or Austria in search of a better life.

Looks sympathetically but superficially to past and present of internal family dynamics for Israeli 3rd generation in Germany/Austria from Holocaust survivor grandparents .

Product Description:
In the age where young, secular, liberal Jews move on from Israel to find new opportunities in Germany and Austria, two places where their ancestors were ferociously persecuted, Kat Rohrer and Gil Levanon, two filmmakers who have vastly different backgrounds, team up to create Back to the Fatherland, a documentary that chronicles the views of Holocaust survivors and their grandchildren on going back to their homeland.
