David & Fatima definitely worth seeing, 22 September 2008
8/10
Author: philipstekel from United States

I tend to agree with comments written here. Although this movie has been made in other ways; including West Side Story, the backdrop of Jerusalem and the realistic quality of combining the tensions of the city and the differences between Jew and Muslim, make the film compelling.

The two lovers (David & Fatima) are an attractive couple and although knowing the story and therefore the outcome, I found myself rooting for the two of them thinking that maybe the storyline would offer a twist that would surprise me.

The music was terrific too and being something of a film score buff, I intend not only to try to locate the soundtrack, but will definitely buy the DVD once it becomes available.

Highly recommend!!!!!!
