Miss Entebbe

About This Movie

Miss Entebbe is an interesting blend of drama and family themes, set against the backdrop of a pivotal moment in 1976. You’ve got this 13-year-old protagonist, Noa, who’s grappling with her sense of justice and confusion. The film dives into her impulsive decision to kidnap an Arab boy, believing it’ll save her friend’s mother. The pacing has a sort of erratic energy, mirroring Noa's emotional turmoil, which gives it a raw, almost chaotic feel. The performances are quite authentic, especially from the young cast who navigate complex adult issues in a way that feels genuine. The atmospheric tension is palpable, and it’s fascinating to see how the real-life events of the Entebbe hijacking are woven into this personal story.
