If you have seen the trailer, you have seen the movie. Yes, it's interesting that some nice Arab band members get lost in a tiny outpost in Israel and get introduced to a bit of life in the modern world. The character development of the band leader is the most interesting development but in the end the movie does not end up making a big statement about anything. A pleasant pic.

As I recently just went to Israel and Egypt I found this movie realistically hilarious and familiar. I expected all the real time to be trying, but instead it just increased the familiarity and coziness, making the characters real and understandable and likable, respectable even. I chuckled more than a few times and uttered "damn is Khaled hot!" more than once too.

For something so inconsequential and small, this movie made an impact. There are no stakes, and nothing unknown, and that may be what makes it so interesting.

Just a small snapshot in time, I felt like the Band's Visit was realistic in how much can be learned, revealed, known, in a short space of time. Loved the the lingering camera shots. An indie film buff's must-see!

A humane, funny, carefully observed character study of an Egyptian band in the Israeli outback. With seemingly very little to work with, the movie creates a wholly believable and somehow very endearing cast of characters, without relying on sentimentality or cheap emotional tricks. Almost certainly will be one of the best movies of the year.

Clean, easy, funny, sad, excellent acting, loved the story! You leave the theatre happy, not frustrated, angry or agressive!

Funny, but not to funny, sentimental, but not to sentimental and sweet, but not to sweet. Good acting in general. The closest in theme that comes to mind is 'Lost in Translation'. Worth seeing, but definitely a repertoire movie. A maximum of 7½.
