The father, Eliezer, is a stubborn purist who fears the establishment and has never been recognized for his work. While his son, Uriel, is an up-and-coming star in the field, who appears to feed on accolades, endlessly seeking recognition. Then one day, the tables turn. When Eliezer learns that he is to be awarded the Israel Prize, the most valuable honor for scholarship in the country, his vanity and desperate need for validation are exposed. His son Uriel, meanwhile, is thrilled to see his father's achievements finally recognized but, in a darkly funny twist, is forced to choose between the advancement of his own career and his father's. Will he sabotage his father's glory? -- (C) Sony Pictures Classics

Some New Trailer For Footnote
New Review For Movie Footnote
At the last... Footnote is so intelligently and deftly made that we are glad it exists.
Stanley Kauffmann-The New Republic "Footnote" deals with ambition, isolation, the dangers of too much success and the inevitable gap between generations.
Tom Long-Detroit News Cedar mines dark humor from the humiliations of identity checks and pecking orders.
Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch Footnote requires little knowledge of Judaism and its texts. Rather, it's about the complications of love, guilt, and rage.
David Denby-New Yorker Israeli writer-director Joseph Cedar's tale of two Talmudic scholars set in present-day Jerusalem, while not exactly side-splitting, is quietly riotous. And, yes, the guffaws are bittersweet.
Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post At times, the film seems to turn into a microfiche machine, with the story's sections divided by frames thumping past us as if propelled by a researcher, eyes scanning.
Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times Cedar remains in stylistic second gear for the rest of the film, and interest fizzles out long before the finish line.
Matt Kelemen-Las Vegas CityLife A dry academic tragi-comedy about academic blackballing, scholarship and taking stock of how you've spent, or misspent, your life.
Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service It remains painful to live in a world where Jack and Jill makes it into commercial cinemas and this superb Israeli film gets kicked into the underbrush.
Donald Clarke-Irish Times Footnote is lighthearted in tone -- which is key to its success, even though it deals with serious family issues and also spotlights the stubbornness and hypocrisy of academic world.
Eric Melin-Scene-Stealers.com The Coen Brothers must be ticked that they didn't think of the idea first.
Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI) ...a drama about the internecine skirmishes - actual and metaphoric - fought between fathers and sons that might fairly be called Shakespearean.
Philip Martin-Arkansas Democrat-Gazette An intriguing and demanding film despite its flaws.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews The premise enables Cedar to spoof academic infighting and professorial egomania even as he dissects a love-hate blood connection that has been fraught with tension and mistrust ever since Abraham was willing to slay Isaac.
John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) Cedar is mostly interested in the father-son dynamics, and he cast excellent actors.
Lawrence Toppman-Charlotte Observer While neither father or son are likeable characters, Cedar still manages to make us care about what will happen to their tumultuous relationship. The end result is a gratifying treat.
Matthew Pejkovic-Matt's Movie Reviews Footnote has moments of humor and moments of pathos, but they often seem to be coming from different movies.
Josh Bell-Las Vegas Weekly A dense and complex piece of filmmaking, made manageable through the warm and totally compelling performances of the two lead actors.
Simon Weaving-Screenwize "Footnote" has one of the most satisfying scenes I've seen in years.
Duane Dudek-Milwaukee Journal Sentinel A funny, sorrowful, sharp-witted look at ambition, ego, and fathers and sons.
Rich Heldenfels-Akron Beacon Journal ... a bitter and mordant comedy that evokes winces instead of laughs ...
Jim Lane-Sacramento News & Review Light yet heavy comedy/drama no footnote in Israeli cinema
Robert Denerstein-Movie Habit Ultimately it's about how fathers and sons manage the added complexity in their relationship of professional rivalry - and the potential for deep wounds to be inflicted by one upon the other
Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile It's an interesting premise with an equally interesting structure and the use of music, injecting high drama alongside a curious cat and mouse curiosity, gives the film a unique slant
Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile This is a film that skims the surface layer of politesse from human interactions and reveals us as the blustering bundles of ego that we all are.
