Yossi & Jagger (2002)

Interesting film that could have been so much better

[6/10 · 29 June 2020]

All one can say after sitting through this film is that if its depiction of Israel's army is accurate, one wonders how they could possibly have won the six days war (or any other war, for that matter). The soldiers are portrayed as inept, unorganized, and not really believable. The story of Yossi and Jagger could have been so very much better, if only it had been more realistic. At the very least, they should have had Yossi come clean with Jagger's parents at the end.
