Brothers Yaki and Shaul are extremely close. After their father loses his job and the family falls into debt, the boys decide on a radical solution to their problems. In his feature debut, director Tom Shoval breaks out of the low-budget, intimate drama mold in favor of an urgent investigation into the existential middle-class issues that are destroying even the most solid family environment. This realistic family drama then morphs into a thriller. When he is called up to fulfill his military service, Yaki is issued a new rifle – which leads the protagonists to somehow mistakenly believe that they are now adults. In a world of violence and manipulation, the natural boundary between filial devotion and social morality becomes hopelessly perverted. (Karlovy Vary International Film Festival)

In terms of the dramaturgy, it’s a muddled mess, which for two hours concerns itself with something that deserves about twenty minutes and two or three plot twists. The motivations are merely thrown up in the air and the characters are undeveloped and unresolved in the end. If any of the things you expect to happen by traditional standards were to happen, you'd scold the filmmakers for cheap clichés, yet at the same time, you wouldn’t be biting the seat in front of you. This will hopefully be forgotten before the last celebrity leaves the festival.
