The Guardian
Schirman's film (produced by the team behind Man on Wire and Searching For Sugarman) is as gripping as any high-concept Hollywood thriller and as psychologically knotty as Greek tragedy.

More than just a morality tale, The Green Prince is a thrill-a-minute spy caper too strange to be real, though it is.

Yousef’s story, which he retells in the documentary The Green Prince, is one of unimaginable courage and moral awakening.

Yet even if the individuals and their motives themselves don’t always come into full focus, The Green Prince is an absorbing psychological study of shifting allegiances.

Though the political background is fascinating, what finally resonates is that Schirman manages to humanize both Yousef and his Israeli handler, Gonen Ben Yitzhak, who would become an unlikely friend and ally.
