John Seal of Berkeleyside says:



** “A deeply moving depiction of the routine, soul-breaking humiliation of life in the Occupied [Palestinian] Territories, The Present benefits from the stolid presence of Saleh Bakri (The Band’s Visit) as Yusef, a beaten but not quite broken man trying to navigate a checkpoint and bring home a gift for his wife.”
