Sinekatalog’s take

Nadav Lapid's unsettling drama follows a teacher who becomes obsessed with protecting a five-year-old boy's gift for poetry. Sarit Larry is excellent in a sharp, strange and ambiguous study of art, possession and a prosaic society.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
