The best new film about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a dark comedy about Ramallah's Mayor... offers a striking new perspective on that struggle, with a personal on-the-ground quality matched by grand tonal ambitions that makes it the best of its subgenre. - Eric Kohn, Indiewire
Impressive. Engrossing. MAYOR is a study in politics both micro and macro, showing what happens when the two come fatefully crashing together. - Jordan Mintzer, The Hollywood Reporter
Astonishing. Gripping and surprisingly witty... Osit brings a respectful approach that admirably never registers as observations of a patronizing Westerner. - Tomris Laffly, Variety
CRITIC'S PICK. Surprisingly funny. Hadid comes across as a cleareyed, forthright leader. But Mayor also stands out because Osit has thought it through in cinematic terms. --Ben Kenigsberg, The New York Times
... one of my favorites of the year, hands-down was David Osit's hilarious and moving documentary Mayor. - Alissa Wilkinson, Vox
Brilliant. Like a lost season of 'Veep'... amuses and devastates in equal measure. - Stephen Saito, Moveable Fest
I loved this film. I loved everything about it from its craft, to its subject to all the thematic threads. I love that this is a film that works on many different levels, that it entertains like a drama and makes you think. This is a magnificent film. - Steve Kopian, Unseen Films
Outstanding...Made with irony, subtlety, and style, Mayor is a bittersweet lesson in civic and international politics. --Peter Keough, The Boston Globe
Product Description
MAYOR is a real-life political saga following Musa Hadid, the Christian mayor of Ramallah, during his second term in office. His immediate goals: repave the sidewalks, attract more tourism, and plan the city's Christmas celebrations. His ultimate mission: to end the occupation of Palestine. Rich with detailed observation and a surprising amount of humor, MAYOR offers a portrait of dignity amidst the madness and absurdity of endless occupation while posing a question: how do you run a city when you don't have a country?
