Writer/director Nurit Kedar's film trains a camera on the snipers of the frontline in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. She goes out on patrol with active units, and interviews marksmen young and old. It can't have been easy to gain the confidence of the Israeli army or the trust of the individuals concerned, but, regrettably, the film isn't particularly illuminating. 'What do you want me to say?' asks one bluff veteran. Shame and defiance rub shoulders. 'I won't be allowed in heaven,' notes one rueful conscript. Occasionally Kedar hits on the madness; the game of it; the sick decorum. They're meant to shoot at the arms and legs of the stone throwers. 'I used to say I was responsible for a lot of legless Palestinians,' proffers a soldier. 'I would never say that now.'

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
