Walter Goodman of '' The New York Times '' described '' I Do n't Give a Damn '' as a " soapy Israeli movie composed of the residue of better movies past " , and wrote that the director " spreads the schmaltz like a cholesterol salesman . The actors do not have a chance . When all those people start telling Rafi that he is closing himself off from possible aid and solace , it 's like being at a convention of therapists . The scenes of him crashing around in his wheelchair will remind you of '' Coming Home , '' but then , everything here will remind you of something you 'd rather be seeing or would rather not have to see again . " The film was awarded Best Film Editing by the Israel Film Center for 1986-7 . It was submitted by Israel for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the 60th Academy Awards , but was not selected
