Entertainment Reviews:
[The filmmaker] methodically traces the battle from its biblical origins to the fragile present through the eyes of everyone from fundamentalist Muslims to committed Zionists.
New York Times
Unless you've thrown up your hands and butted out of all news of the Middle East debacle, nothing in this methodical, unimaginative documentary about the Arab-Israeli conflict will surprise, edify or, God forbid, outrage you.
L.A. Weekly
Rating: 65/100 --
As the film progresses, it becomes increasingly bold in taking sides, while all the time pretending to be unbiased.
Apollo Guide
Rating: 3.5/5 --
'A small house can accommodate hundreds of friends, but can't accommodate two enemies,' the doctor says ruefully, quoting an Arab proverb. Sadly, Blood and Tears is the proof.
New York Times
Nothing more than a collection of sound bytes, most of them biased, many of them inflammatory, by a variety of speakers. It is hard to know what good this does.

Film Journal International
Rating: 2.5/4 --
Though refreshingly reluctant to take sides regarding geography of the matter, the film has a subtle slant toward peace.

Hollywood Report Card
A well-balanced primer on the Arab-Israeli conflict, Blood and Tears takes just over an hour to go from the roots of Zionism to the recent electoral victory of Hamas.
