YMMV / Frozen Days

• I Knew It!: The Reveal becomes glaringly obvious as soon as the reporter says a young woman suffered severe head trauma in the bombing.
• Narm: Meow screaming at the sight of the girl who kept calling Alex, who turns out to be her from the beginning of the film.
• Nightmare Fuel: Especially if you’ve lived in a place where bombings like in this film were a very real danger.
• Special Effects Failure: The make up for Meow’s revealed wounds under the bandages in the end.
• Squick: The masturbation scene, when you think about it too much.
• What Do You Mean, It's Not Political?: Film scholar Shmulik Duvdevani interpreted the film as a ‘[depiction of] the Israeli reality as a hallucination. Its pivot is a traumatic experience―a suicide bombing―and the return thereto, i.e. the need to re-experience it in order to, perhaps, break free. The vagueness that characterises this film expresses simultaneously its main character’s consciousness and the fluidity of the Israeli experience: always under threat, in a state of trauma, revolving and tangling in itself in restless motion (just like the heroine here), circular, meaningless and with no way out.’
