Review For It Is No Dream: The Life of Theodor Herzl
Richard Trank's film is sober, detailed, and handsomely mounted. Ben Kingsley narrates, to excellent effect. Mark Feeney-Boston Globe Although director Trank is an Oscar winner for the documentary "The Long Way Home," some of the choices made here are awkward. Kenneth Turan-Los Angeles Times "It Is No Dream" satisfies neither as a movie nor as a history lesson. Rachel Saltz-New York Times Well-crafted doc offers a scholarly account of the birth of Herzl's Zionist movement. John DeFore-Hollywood Reporter Helmer Trank deserves kudos for trying to convey this complicated history with primary materials. Alissa Simon-Variety The film doesn't exactly sizzle, but it does manage to provide a straightforward (if perspective-challenged) biographical sketch of a major historical figure. Andrew Schenker-Village Voice A blow by blow, thoroughly researched rendering of the Hungarian secular journalist's instrumental part in taking Zionism from the theoretical to the actual. Jordan Hiller-Bangitout.com An epic, even Biblical story, brought down to Ken Burns size in this lackluster telling. Peter Keough-Boston Phoenix A straight-forward documentary about the life and work of the visionary known as the father of the modern state of Israel. Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice The bottom line is that Herzl was an absolutely fascinating man, and he proves to be a most compelling character this excellent film. Jennifer Merin-About.com Offers at least one way to couch propaganda in a way that doesn't seem like the genuine article on the face of it. Kenji Fujishima-Slant Magazine This documentary of the life of Theodore Herzl is full of information and at the same time is disappointingly dry and un-engaging. Mark R. Leeper-Mark Leeper's Reviews Anyone with a deep interest in Jewish history will appreciate this intelligent and well-produced endeavor. Phil Hall-Film Threat
