Entertainment Reviews:
The premise is a richly flavorful one....Kais Nashif is an effortlessly natural actor...
RogerEbert.com
[T]he film smartly undercuts cliches while bringing together Jews and Arabs in their common love for tear-jerking televised fluff....[This] modest little charmer presents a lighter side of the long and ongoing crisis.
Hollywood Reporter
Zoabi’s imagining of the soap, itself called TEL AVIV ON FIRE is the film’s masterstroke, reproducing all the outrageous plot twists and visual excesses of the genre.
Variety
Rating: 2/5 --
Alas, the potential for sharp political satire takes a back seat to small screen spoofery, nudging this more in the direction of Soapdish, rather than Joe Dante's transcendent The Second Civil War.

Reel Film Reviews
It might not do much to advance peace in the Middle East, but this witty and charming comedy brings a unique perspective to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Rating: 3/4 --
In offering a comedic take on not just the hostility between Israelis and Palestinians, but also the shared history and culture that bind them, "Tel Aviv on Fire" is an enjoyable respite from the bleakness that is far more typical of their stories.

Product Description:
In Palestine, a young and naive man named Salam (Kais Nashif) receives a significant opportunity to write for a noteworthy television drama after crossing paths with an Israeli soldier (Yaniv Biton). While he continues to make strides in the industry, things suddenly come to a halt following a disagreement between the soldier and the financiers, forcing Salam to choose a side. Written and directed by Sameh Zoabi.
