	Author	Review
United States	Jay Weissberg Variety	"Samuel Maoz went in a risky direction by making a film as different and daring as 'Foxtrot', and his boldness pays off in ways that make one reach for superlatives."	POS
United States	Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter	"Bold modernist cinema at its most harrowing (...) It takes its place among the boldest, angriest critiques of contemporary Israel (...) The film is definitely a strong experience"	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"A brilliant portrait of Israeli frustrations (...) [It] is beautiful deadpan satire with many surprises in store (...) Maoz compliments his unpredictable narrative with sharp, meticulous framing in every scene."	POS
United States	Jordan Hoffman Vanity Fair	"There are moments in this film that are funny and others that are beautiful, but more than anything else there is a sadness that is truly profound."	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"A movie that builds into a devastating indictment of a nation, shock by shock, brutal moment by brutal moment (...) [Maoz] has an exacting eye. The framing is meticulous"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Ashkenazi, a superb actor, reaches a new career peak. You will be shaken (...) It’s a riveting, deeply resonant achievement (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"Maoz’s control of tone is meticulous and his technique swaggeringly assured (...) It’s a smart and resonant parable (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Dan Fainaru Screendaily	"Maoz pares his dialogue down to the essential minimum, allowing most of the impact to be delivered visually (...) Assembled like a complex puzzle, each piece painstakingly fashioned with obsessive care and admirable economy"	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"It is a formally gorgeous piece of work, the kind of film that exudes confidence in structure and tone, and it contains some of the most striking, memorable imagery of the year (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Xan Brooks The Guardian	"An urgent and witty picture of futility (...) It is a fierce, urgent, unflinching picture (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
