CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

adesunandar First of All the line story is clear and easy to find out how, the romance, yep dont ever ask why this is good because its a romance movie. the music is good with a little thriller sound here and made me loud noisely to when the nimr in the runaway.the character is really smooth just like they really have their story for real, this is I call the romantic movie I ever seen beside the truth is this movie were gay movie. i really dont care but I feel love here, I cried when there were fight for their love and I really thinks and grateful that I was born here in my country with freedom.

snowyprecipice Definitely one of my favourite gay movies of all time. The two leads had a lot of chemistry (and Michael Aloni is smoking!), which made their interactions, and subsequently love, feel real. Roy was stellar throughout the movie, and portrayed his inner conflict really well. Nimer could get a bit annoying, but after a second time watching, I realized it was because he just had a lot of fear. There's a lot of conflict in the movie due to the Palestine-Israel subject matter, and it does add a sense of gravity and darkness to the movie. It feels like a star-crossed lovers theme, but it didn't fall into clichés, as far as I could tell. The ending was also left ambiguous but those sick of sad endings for gay movies (like me grr) will be hoping for the best.Overall a great movie starring good actors who have chemistry!

Bene Cumb Joint headwords "gay", "Islam", "Arabs in Israel" are already so versatile and involving so much controversy that, based on them, one can expect a creation full of hatred, resentment and violence and with taking sides. But differently, Out in the Dark is a film dedicated to high human values (love, trust, friendship, loyalty), and the background and headwords mentioned are only the means to express them. Thus, the result is a pleasant, not strictly a gay film, with love pleasantly depicted, without domination of lust or gay clubbing, with political and social issues present, but without black-and-white approach or appeals to end the situation present in Israel by any means. Both the leading performers - Nicholas Jacob, Michael Aloni - do a great job, and the ambiguous ending let the viewers nicely ponder on and over the main topics of the film.Thus, Out in the Dark - with so relevant title - is a fine opportunity to become acquainted with modern Israeli cinema.

vauxtc I thought this was a powerful and heartbreaking film. Powerful because of the dramatic storyline and the performances of all the leads and heartbreaking because of the tragic situations which exist in the Middle East where for some just existing is a struggle and being gay is life threatening. And once again government abuse is rife through the Israeli security service behaviour or through the behaviour of the self appointed thugs on the Palestinian side. The script was strong with believable dialogue. And the film interestingly doesn't take sides. The ending left the possibility of a sequel which I gather is a real possibility.
