All That's Left of You

In the Occupied West Bank during the 1980s, a Palestinian teenager takes part in a protest that alters the course of his family's life. The film follows his mother, Hanan, as she pieces together what led to that moment and how its fallout reshaped their future. Bridging decades, the story moves backward and forward in time to show the family's losses, departures, and quiet acts of care. Instead of focusing on headline events, it stays close to everyday decisions, intimate arguments, and the small kindnesses that keep a family going, tracing how one incident reverberates through generations without revealing the story's final turns.

Directed and co-written by Cherien Dabis, All That's Left of You premiered in 2025. The cast includes Saleh Bakri as Salim, Cherien Dabis as Hanan, Adam Bakri as Sharif, Maria Zreik as Munira, and Mohammad Bakri as Older Sharif, grounding the film with familiar regional talent.

Commercially the film recorded a modest worldwide gross of $276,431. Its box office reflects a limited release, with most of the audience response coming from festivals and specialized screenings rather than a wide mainstream rollout.

The film contributes to Palestinian cinema by focusing on domestic life under occupation and the long shadow of displacement. Its multi decade scope and close family scenes have sparked conversations about representation, memory, and how stories of exile are told, especially among diasporic viewers and regional film communities.

Critical and audience responses have been generally positive, with a vote average around 8.1 out of 10 from early viewers. Reviewers have highlighted the performances and the film's patient pacing, and noted themes of motherhood, intergenerational trauma, resilience, and the costs of loss as central to its emotional core.
