At a party in Tel Aviv, Danny is looking for Max to tell him that she’s pregnant with his child. Wading through a haze of drugs and promiscuity, Danny does not get far in her search. Meanwhile, Max is busy with his new girlfriend, Avishag. He attempts to satisfy her rough sexual fantasies, but Avishag instead turns her attention to another burgeoning relationship with an older man.

In these three, loosely connected vignettes, director Hadas Ben Aroya’s second feature film proves to be an atmospheric exploration of a self-possessed generation of young Israelis. Though beautiful, confident, and sexually liberated, All Eyes Off Me addresses the physical limits of intimacy, questioning just how liberated these youths really are when faced with vulnerability.

Reviews

  • "[A] seductive triptych...."
    Natalia Winkelman, The New York Times
  • "The film is bracingly frank about the younger generation’s pursuit of sensual pleasure (and pain). And it’s graced by Weil’s superb performance...."
    Noel Murray, Los Angeles Times
  • "Divided into three parts, it’s a snapshot of urban relationships and loneliness that electrifies with its raw, razor-sharp honesty. With ALL EYES OFF ME, Ben Aroya shows promise to be a filmmaker we could trust to tell more stories of the young."
    Zhuo-Ning Su, Awards Daily
  • "All Eyes Off Me is a fascinating portrait of narcissistic teenagers living in Tel Aviv. [T]he precise characterisation and framing make it a deeply compelling watch."
    Redmond Bacon, Directors Notes
  • "All Eyes Off Me... is nothing if not provocative. Ben Aroya is undoubtedly a director with remarkable talent and an incredibly promising future. She and her cast and crew—notably cinematographer Meidan Arama—have made a film that explores the ennui and experimentations of her generation with an unflinching, uncompromising perspective."
    J Paul Johnson, Film Obsessive
  • "All Eyes Off Me boasts solid performances from the entire cast and cinematographer Meidan Arama’s lovely camerawork keeps the action feeling natural and fluid as the story winds down with a deeply affecting interaction that leaves one with a strong sense of relief and hope."
    Jared Abbott, The WOW Report
  • "Hadas Ben Aroya’s film is unpredictable, unnerving and quietly exhilarating."
