Academy Award®-winning actress Natalie Portman directs and stars in the emotional and thought-provoking story about Fania, a young wife and mother in war-torn Jerusalem, during the early years of the State of Israel. Stifled in her relationship and weary from the tedium of her new life, Fania creates fantastical stories for Amos, her 10-year-old son, amazing him with tales of adventure and beauty - stories that would influence the boy to become a writer himself. Based on the international best-selling memoir by Amos Oz, A TALE OF LOVE AND DARKNESS is "the most revolutionary Jewish movie since Schindler’s List" (Stephen Marche, Esquire).

Critics Consensus: A Tale of Love and Darkness suggests greater things for debuting writer-director Natalie Portman -- even if its reach slightly exceeds her creative grasp.

Reviews

Richard Crouse

As an actor-turned-director Portman aims high, taking chances and never allowing the weight of the material to bog down the film.

When all is said and done, this extremely personal project from one of our most talented screen artists is both admirable and ambitious.

Ultimately, this is a worthy, heartfelt, and uneven attempt to bring to cinematic life an immense, acclaimed memoir of love, life, and war.

I recommend the film not because it's a classic or it's my new favorite movie. But...It's worth disappearing into an old, old language and confronting difficult truths about life.

Natalie Portman's love letter to Israel may be more dark than it is loving, but it's a visceral experience and an amiable directorial debut for Portman.
