(This calls for some research into the tribal nature of the Bedouins, who are split largely on color lines but in this case, the boyfriend has about the same complexion as Layla.) When Jalila finally realizes that her daughter is right to want to marry the person of her choice and rebels against her husband, there are consequences.<\/p>\n<p>Israeli writer-director Zexer likes close-ups, medium shots and long takes to allow the audience to concentrate on the expressions of his principals thereby succeeding to get us to sympathize with Layla\u2019s plight.\u00a0 And when he shows the family\u2019s little girls watching the proceedings, we realize that alas, they will be forced to accept the same fate as Layla.<\/p>\n<p>The only politics in the movie are matters within the family.\u00a0 We have no idea whether Bedouins would like their own country, though some have been known to join the Israeli army.\u00a0 The content of \u201cSand Storm\u201d follows that of other films about cultural differences between fathers and their wives and children, though conflicts in Western families are in no way as sad as those shown in this traditional family.\u00a0 Aside from a melodramatic moment or two, \u201cSand Storm\u201d is hardly a stormy film but serves nicely to show us what it\u2019s like to live in this small society.\u00a0 What\u2019s more, if you\u2019re interested, you can join an Israeli tour that allows you to visit with a Bedouin family, enjoy its reputation for hospitality to guests, and try their special foods while sitting on cushions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unrated.\u00a0 87 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Story \u2013 B<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Acting \u2013
