Lebanon was technically very well done (acting, cinematography, sound design) but when it comes to "the point" I agree with you 100%. There wasn't one. And given the inability of Israeli filmmakers to take a 30,000 ft view, that's a good thing. Israeli movies are getting better but still are not great. Avoid Amos Gitai movies at all costs. What a waste of talent.
