A man who acknowledges a side of himself he's kept hidden for decades must decide between love, loyalty, and faith in this drama from filmmaker Haim Tabakman set in Jerusalem. Aaron (Zohar Strauss) is an orthodox Jew in his mid-thirties who helps run a kosher butcher shop opened by his father. Aaron is married to Rivka (Ravit "Tinkerbell" Rozen) and they have four sons, but he often feels something is missing from his life. One day, a 19-year-old yeshiva student, Ezri (Ran Danker), stops by the shop; when Aaron learns Ezri is homeless, he offers to make the youngster his apprentice and gives him a room. Aaron and Ezri strike up a fast friendship, but in time their feelings become deeper, and during a communal bath they act on the desires that have been growing between them. Aaron finds himself torn between his loyalty to his family and his growing love for Ezri, and his dilemma becomes even more pointed when Rabbi Vaisben (Tzahi Grad) asks him to join him in his "Purity Police" group, who pay threatening visits to people in the community who are falling short in the eyes of the congregation. Einaym Pkuhot (aka Eyes Wide Open) was an official selection at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, where it was screened as part of the "Un Certain Regard" program. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Some New Trailer For Eyes Wide Open (Einaym Pkuhot)
New Review For Movie Eyes Wide Open (Einaym Pkuhot)
The unusually subtle yet eloquent debut of Israeli director Haim Tabakman...Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald
Slow and often silent, it's an extraordinarily disciplined film that respects, if not honours, the milieu of its story...
Dave Calhoun-Time Out
Eschews sentimentality and pathos, instead letting body language and the dusty, gloomy streets of Jerusalem shape the story.
-New York Magazine
It moves slowly and patiently through the ordeal of a single soul, illuminating in the process a cosmos of intense and hidden feeling.
A.O. Scott-New York Times
Quiet, sober and tense, the movie makes some interesting points, but it lacks the emotional firepower of Brokeback Mountain.
Kyle Smith-New York Post
The drama's moments of inspiration vindicate its desultory proceedings.
Kevin Lee-Time Out New York
The movie respects the Jewish tradition of inquiry and debate; it unreels as a sort of dramatic dialogue that acknowledges the benefits and terrors of both religious fundamentalism and personal freedom.
John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
This restrained piece from first-time Israeli film-maker Haim Tabakman explores the tension between faith and sexuality in Jerusalem.
Alistair Harkness-Scotsman
The simplicity of the tale is its strength and the acting of Zohar Strauss as Aaron and Ran Danker as Ezri is entirely natural.
Derek Malcolm-This is London
It's almost impossible to imagine anyone making a gay romance between two orthodox Jews. And yet this film is subtle and sensitive, and full of earthy honesty as it explores a seriously difficult situation.
Rich Cline-Shadows on the Wall
A sensitively directed and movingly acted story of forbidden love.
Tom Dawson-Total Film
A very human story quietly unfolds with a compelling understatement in this dour but deeply-felt drama from director Haim Tabakman.
Allan Hunter-Daily Express
This is responsible, restrained and intelligent, but if anything, the risky subject material is handled with too much caution.
Steve Rose-Guardian [UK]
Director Haim Tabakman avoids sensationalism so assiduously that his film has slightly less eroticism than the average party political broadcast.
Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK]
It's not just the subject matter of impossible love that recalls Brokeback Mountain, but the same aching sadness and pathos.
David Edwards-Daily Mirror [UK]
One of the best and most moving love stories you'll ever see. Absolutely top draw.
Matt Bochenski-Little White Lies
Tabakman makes evocative use of enclosed spaces and silences, and tempers the melodrama with a sociological authenticity that confirms the centrality of belief in Jewish culture.
David Parkinson-Empire Magazine
Worthy in theme, honourable in intent, oddly bloodless in execution.
Nigel Andrews-Financial Times
Director Haim Tabakman conjures up the sad mood very skilfully, with natural lighting, measured pace and an unexpected electronic soundtrack. In fact, it's probably my favourite film about the romantic love between two Jewish guys since Superbad.
Robbie Collin-News of the World
The film's urgent point about the need for understanding is made with dignity and an appreciable tinge of sorrow.
Trevor Johnston-Radio Times
Impressively directed, thought-provoking and emotionally engaging drama that plays like an orthodox Jewish version of Brokeback Mountain, though the pacing and minimalistic dialogue might prove too arthouse for some tastes.
Matthew Turner-ViewLondon
As oblique and laconic as its characters, Tabakman's moral tale rises to a melancholy spirituality.
Peter Keough-Boston Phoenix
"Brokeback Mezuzah": Tender, affecting, brave, and beautifully wrought,
Brandon Judell-CultureCatch
Brave, provocative and gently engrossing with well-nuanced performances.
Avi Offer-NYC Movie Guru
