Title: a complex, touching film
Product review: "Miral" traces Palestinian experience with Israeli oppression from the 1947 "Nakba" forward to the present. Heartache abounds, as the characters cope with tragedy. But the film is wise in tracing some of the problems to Palestinian roots, although the Israeli occupation always provides a backdrop for the impulsive and sometimes cruel things that Palestinians do to each other. Wisdom is earned the hard way in this film, but in a way that vindicates the unfailing love shown by the principal character to the orphans under her care.
