The camera in "The Wanderer" is motionless. The fine photography by Shai Goldman ("The Band's Visit" ) helps to create a tense, serious, severe and also poetic atmosphere, and there are numerous silences, few dialogues and stylized frames. Sivan presents a cinematic experience that demands dedication and patience from its viewers. He does not present them with a Hollywood-ish product that is easy to digest, but an ethical, thoughtful film far from the local cinematic mainstream... "a peculiar but memorable calling card" as Variety said. (Haaretz)
