Out in the Dark Ratings & Reviews
TheIndependentCritic.com
Richard Propes
It's an important film with universal themes that carry with them an unforgettable emotional resonance.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
An unflinching document about the violence and hardships LGBT people face in this hostile territory.
Way Too Indie
Bernard Boo
Out in the Dark creates an atmospheric sense of tension that soaks into every scene, but what's slightly lacking here are surprises.
Cinema Sight
Wesley Lovell
A brilliant exploration of the challenges facing homosexuals in other parts of the developed world.
Film-Forward.com
Nora Lee Mandel
Intense intimate look beyond tragic premise of Romeo & Romeo across Israel/Palestine wall. . . Suspense thrillingly builds to options the lovers have [for] romantic optimism.
Observer
Rex Reed
It's one of the most powerful films about the Arab-Israeli conflict that has ever been attempted on the screen.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Lewis
"Out in the Dark" isn't a political film by any stretch, but the intrigue and prejudices of the Arab-Israeli conflict certainly fuel the romance and thrills of this entertaining, taut movie.
Movie Dearest
Fr. Chris Carpenter
The best gay-themed films I've yet seen this year.
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
By the end, Nimr and Roy have become heavy-handed symbols for the ongoing clash of ideologies in the Middle East. "Out in the Dark" fared better when it treated them as people.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Even though the plot defies credibility at several points, "Out in the Dark" is gripping, and Nimr's tearful exile from his family breaks your heart.
NPR
Ella Taylor
Tel Aviv and the West Bank may be worlds apart in terms of culture, politics and religion, but Mayer cleverly merges them into a single claustrophobic continuum of paranoia, violence and corruption that corrodes everything it touches.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
Ratchets up the tension on its appealing lead characters in believable, heartfelt ways while spinning out an edgy tale fueled by do-or-die sociopolitical intrigue. It's unique, powerful stuff.
Slant Magazine
Diego Semerene
Instead of looking for depth or verisimilar romance, director Michael Mayer turns his characters into mere cogs in a pseudo-suspenseful thriller.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
The movie is involving, the romance affecting, the sex sound, and the catch-as-catch-can handheld camerawork smartly appropriate for the scenario ...
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
Though it's rather clumsily scripted, formulaic in structure and sometimes contrived, Out In The Dark is strengthened by its subtext and elevated by tender, affecting performances from the leads.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
The love between a well-heeled gay Israeli lawyer and a struggling Palestinian student serves to examine harsh realities in both communities in Michael Mayer's textured drama.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
Sociologically, the film is fascinating; dramatically, it is a borderline disaster.
