Really glad to see this movie is coming out. Saw it at a film festival where it got a standing ovation. Went with my daughter(age 14) and husband (age 68) and me (age 50) and all three of us just loved it. It deals with an interesting time of history, the British Mandate in Palestine and offers an even handed view. Performances are all around good. The little boy is exceptional and Alfred Molina is one of our favorites. The movie isn't sappy but it's hopeful, good hearted and VERY entertaining. You leave the theater feeling good. Would recommend to all my friends and wouldn't be surprised if this film picked up some real momentum.

The movie shows about the Jewish community in Israel and the process of their establishment in the British occupied Palestine. It shoes how little proffy and his relation with a British soldier friend changes as he learns more about life around him.

This film has no car chases, and no people jumping out of planes. It is simply done, yet manages to leave you with a smile on your face. The film deals with the Middle East, which exists with many divergent viewpoints. In its own way, the film treads lightly, which turns out to work well. You may disagree with some of the underlying message, and yet be taken in by its simple charm. If you are looking for a major Hollywood blockbuster, this film is very not that, and you should skip it. But if you want to spend ninety minutes and smile softly afterwards, it is a nice way to spend those ninety minutes.

Was looking forward to this due to the interesting story-line. Unfortunately the execution lacks pace and warmth. Despite the nice cinematography I found it very boring to watch. Something was missing, drama. Looked too staged, taken straight from the story-board. Unable to connect with the characters to a level to stay engaged. Dropped out after 20 min.

I stumbled across this film and watched it purely on the strength of actor Alfred Molina who plays a British soldier occupying Palestine just before Israel is recognized as a state. Molino's character is befriended by an 11 year old Jewish boy. I enjoyed the friendship and the way the story unfolds. A lovely script, beautifully acted and kid actors that are actually quite good especially the lead boy whose story this film centers around. The film is especially poignant now with so much misunderstanding and ignorance in the world.

THE LITTLE TRAITOR is a touching little film based on the Amos Oz novel 'Panther in the Basement' and adapted for the screen and directed by Lynn Roth. Made in 2007 but for some reason not commercially released in the USA until On Demand films became popular on television, it is now available in DVD and deserves attention, especially in the current situation of the Middle East situation. This is one of those films that may be small or low budget, but carries a rather profound message that transcends political restrictions or biases. The story takes place in 1947 Palestine before the formation of Israel as state in 1948. Proffy Liebowitz (Ido Port) may be only eleven years old but he is very bright and has insights into the political situation of the times. He was conceived in Poland but born in Palestine when his parents immigrated in hopes of forming a Jewish state of fellow WW II survivors from the concentration camps. Proffy resents the presence of the British in Paelstine who inflict curfews on the citizens of Jerusalem and joins with his buddies to plan bombs and other ordinances to terrorize the British make their motto of Freedom Or Death meaningful. Proffy's father (Rami Heuberger) is a harsh disciplinarian: he and his wife give sanctuary for immigrant homeless Jews and don't want Proffy to disturb the British policing of the city for fear of altering their roles as protectors. Out beyond curfew time one evening Proffy encounters British Sergeant Dunlop (Alfred Molina) and somehow the two connect: Dunlop does not arrest Proffy but instead returns him to his home with the promise that Proffy will join him for lunch the next day! Proffy's father grounds him for a week, but finally when Proffy is released he looks up Dunlop and the two share literature and conversation, times that allow each to understand the other's stance and personality, and Proffy begins to see the warmly generous Dunlop as a father figure - a man who psychologically replaces Proffy's own cold and remote father. Their friendship becomes a strong bond between what Proffy had once considered a clash of enemies. As their friendship builds Proffy's young friends discover the relationship and begin to spread rumors that Proffy is passing Jewish intelligence to the British. Proffy is interrogated (Theodore Bikel) and how the Jews and the British deal with this is the climax of the story. We do see years later the old Dunlop meet the now adult Proffy (Natan Ravich) in a very touching scene. Alfred Molina once again proves that he can make even a small film rise to a fine standard and his interaction with the young Ido Port is memorable. The film is in English and Hebrew with subtitles. Recommended for all audiences. Grady Harp
