A Tale Of Love & Darkness is the new drama starring/directed by Natalie Portman and based on the memoir of Amos Oz.

Oz is a journalist, writer and advocate of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The film tells the story of Oz who grew up in Jerusalem in the years before Israeli statehood with Arieh.

The subject matter is interesting, and I’m a Natalie Portman fan, which means I want to watch this. However, I’m not sure if it’ll be as good as I’d love it to be.

Not to judge a book by its cover, of course. However, this trailer edit and the textual interruptions (not the subtitles) in a rather ill-advised font have left something to be desired.

I was hoping to be more excited by Portman’s directorial debut than I am. May this be better than Jane Got A Gun (2016), the last movie I watched that she starred in.

A Tale Of Love & Darkness Release Dates: August 19th, 2016 (US)…

Happy Film Loving,
