"For three years, Sachs created this moving cine-essay on the violence of the Middle East by exchanging personal letters and images with her Israeli friend Nir Zats. The core of their experimental documentary on war, land, the Bible, and filmmaking is a portrait of Revital Ohayon, an Israeli filmmaker and mother killed in a terrorist act on a kibbutz near the West Bank. Without taking sides of casting blame, the film embraces Revital's story with surprising emotion, entering her life and legacy through home movies, film footage, new reports, interviews and letters." - Margaret Mead Film Festival
"A meditation on fear and filmmaking, tragedy and transformation, violence and the land of Israel. Surprisingly beautiful, like the embattled country-side it depicts. This elegant piece of filmmaking is also greatly enriched by its soundtrack, featuring works by some of the Jewish avant-garde's best and brightest." - The Jewish Week
"At a time when conflicts scar the globe and visually arresting film attests to the complex process of 'accompanying' a stranger in her death. Drawing on the Bible, Allen Ginsberg's poetry, and interviews, the film is a search for a person beyond reach, a meditation on the things one cannot know, a moving kaddish for uncertain, dangerous times." - Pacific Film Archive
