It Must Be Heaven is sometimes funny. Other times, the conveyed point flies over your head, especially if you have no idea about the context that director Elia Suleiman wants those sequences to be taken in. Which involves the long-lasting identity crisis of Palestine and its differences with the nation of Israel and others. But even if you were well-versed with the context, the deadpan delivery of the story where Suleiman (in character) goes around in different cities to observe the parallels between his and other countries is slightly inaccessible. Throughout the film, I was looking at my watch to make the movie end sooner but it didn't happen as the story went around in circles and never becoming as funny as the opening sequence. TN.
