Wajib Ratings & Reviews
Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack)
Marya E. Gates
Although this film is as political as anything Jacir has made, it is also probably her warmest, funniest, and most accessible film.
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
[A] crowd-pleasing Palestinian drama.
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
It's the clear love and respect between them, despite old quarrels which makes it such a masterful and profound drama.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
Ms. Jacir is a thrifty filmmaker; there's nothing frilly in this movie. But she is also a sensitive and imaginative and resourceful one.
Eye for Film
Amber Wilkinson
Annemarie Jacir's characters may not leave the city of Nazareth as they take a circular road trip in Wajib but the emotional distance they travel is considerable.
The Hollywood Reporter
Neil Young
Wajib gives an unfussily illuminating snapshot of modern-day Nazareth, where a majority Arab population - most seen here are Christian - has found ways to get along under the fiddly, capricious restrictions of the Israeli state.
Slant Magazine
Diego Semerene
Writer-director Annemarie Jacir's Wajib suggests that Palestinian survival depends on acts of self-erasure and self-betrayal.
AwardsCircuit.com
Shane Slater
In the end, it all boils down to a rather simple father-son drama.
Variety
Jay Weissberg
An intimate, well-played disquisition on what it means to be a Palestinian abroad versus a Palestinian at home.
