‘All That’s Left of You’ Review: Cherien Dabis’ Drama of Palestinian Origin and Struggle Is a Generational Touchstone [A]

Cherien Dabis’ third feature, *All That’s Left of You*, has been shortlisted as Jordan’s 2026 Oscar submission for Best International Feature. The film follows a single Palestinian family from the 1948 Nakba through the 1988 First Intifada to present‑day occupation, weaving personal trauma with historic upheaval. By opening in 1988, then flashing back to 1948, Dabis underscores how each generation inherits the wounds of displacement. Critics hail it as a cinematic milestone that brings Palestinian narratives into mainstream theaters and VOD platforms.
