I think this movie is totally false advertised. It is NOT about LGBTQ+ stuff, the two girls didn't fall in love w/ each other, they only kiss once, you can see this among the pictures. But I really liked how the movie pointed out the struggles both Moroccan and Indian Jews faced. Also, the abundance of languages (Hebrew, French and English) is really the strongest feature of this movie, so if you're a polyglot, you will enjoy this film. So if you expect an LGBT movie, you will be disappointed, but if you just want to see a family-friendly piece, about youth, about the 60s in Israel and about what it's like to be a newcomer in the country, you will be satisfied with this movie.

We liked this movie because it was about relationships.You really believed in the family relationships and the friendships.However, I can see through some of the plot holes in this film.It is sweet, but the script is not very deep or strong.One of the redeeming qualities it the nudity, without which this movie might be a bit tedious and untrue to the era which it was trying to depict (1968).It did not escape my attention that it was supposed to take place in Eilat, before detente with Egypt, which was then a backwater hoping for the tourist trade, which now has come to pass.The most salient feature is that it highlights some of the tensions between some of the immigrant communities that helped to populate Israel, some policies relating to that have dispossessed Palestinians from their homes.However, let me be clear, this movie shows a part of bonding amongst the many different parts of diaspora Jews, and that is probably the best thing.

I have watched this film 2.5 times and it has touched me from start to finish . Sure it is entertainment , but isn't that what the movies are for ? I will recommend it for a Film Festival I am Chairing The acting is credible.The two protagonist are divine in their own ways & the narrative flow keeps one involved from the charming beginning to the surprise ending . There are so few pleasant movies coming out of Israel to offset the gloom and doom and directors constant attacks at Israeli Society, therefor this one wins in the charm parade .It is a just a great flick for mature audiences. Watch it and be drawn in as you take the voyages of discovery with the protagonists . R J LIFF

Turn Left At The End Of The World is a great film! Avi Nesher who is a cult israeli film director returns! Left Turn At The End Of The World deals with the problems of newcomers who have been sent to the a small town just at the end of the world. As much as it sounds dreadful and hopeless, this film is actually very funny and entertaining! As an Israeli man, I can certainly say that nothing new has been made by Avi Nesher, it's the same old formula of typical israeli racism combined with sex lol. In addition, I can even say that this film is a developed version of Eskimo Lemon also known as Lemon Popsicles abroad. Bottom line : Watch this film if you would like to have an hour and a half of pure entertaining.
