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