When her teenage son confronts Israeli soldiers during a protest in the West Bank, Hanan (Cherien Dabis) begins to recount how they arrived at this moment, starting with her father Sharif’s (Adam Bakri) forced displacement during the 1948 Nakba. Premiering to acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival, writer-director Cherien Dabis also delivers a searing lead performance as Hanan, a mother fighting to keep her family’s history alive in the face of ongoing erasure.
From the vibrant streets of pre-Nakba Jaffa, to the contested terrain of modern-day Nablus, All That’s Left of You unfolds with urgency and emotional precision. This is not a mournful elegy, but a bold act of defiance, a story about memory, justice and the cost of silence. At a moment when history is being contested in real time, Dabis’ film offers an unflinching portrait of generational trauma and resilience, grounded in familial love and political clarity.
"A deeply moving epic of Palestinian intergenerational trauma.”
The Guardian
"Dabis has crafted a film whose thoughtfulness is amplified by strong performances."
The Hollywood Reporter
"A profound masterpiece that serves as a reminder of the enduring struggle for justice."
