All That’s Left of You, filmed in Cyprus and Germany, achieves perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes

All That’s Left of You, a film written, directed and produced by Palestinian American film-maker Cherien Dabis, and filmed in Cyprus and Germany, has achieved a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score.

The film relays the story of a Palestinian teen who, when confronted by Israeli soldiers at a protest in the West Bank, his mother recounts the series of events that led him to that fateful moment, starting with his grandfather’s displacement from Jaffa in 1948. All That’s Left of You is described as an epic historical drama chronicling the story of one family over three generations and examining the passage of trauma to each.

Having premiered at the Sundance Festival earlier this year and appeared in numerous others since, the film has been receiving rave reviews, including by The Guardian, which wrote: “Cherien Dabis’s drama, spanning nearly 75 years in one Palestinian family, is a heart-wrenching, if sometimes blunt, portrait of displacement.”

Posting on his LinkedIn, Eleftheriou added: “All That's Left of You has already made appearances at various film festivals, receiving astounding ratings, notably achieving a perfect score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes! Congratulations to all involved in this remarkable project.”
