Movie Overview For The Flat
The flat on the third floor of a Bauhaus building in Tel Aviv was where my grandparents lived since they immigrated to Palestine in the 1930's. Were it not for the view from the windows, one might have thought that the flat was in Berlin. When my grandmother passed away at the age of 98 we were called to the flat to clear out what was left. Objects, pictures, letters and documents awaited us, revealing traces of a troubled and unknown past. The film begins with the emptying out of a flat and develops into a riveting adventure, involving unexpected national interests, a friendship that crosses enemy lines, and deeply repressed family emotions. And even reveals some secrets that should have probably remained untold...TagLine The Flat

Review For The Flat
There's something touching about the way Goldfinger obeys his moral compass.Wesley Morris-Boston Globe
I will salute the deftness and intelligence with which Goldfinger observes the reactions of the living to the revelations of the dead.
Lisa Schwarzbaum-Entertainment Weekly
Are things better left alone or is revealing all always the best path? "The Flat," to its credit, offers nothing like a definitive answer.
Tom Long-Detroit News
"The Flat" is a compelling tale of history made personal, and of what happens when light is shone on something previously murky.
Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times
The movie feels more like a thriller and a mystery than a documentary. Perhaps someday, someone will be inspired to dramatize this astonishing story.
Leba Hertz-San Francisco Chronicle
Engrossing doc finds buried bonds between an Israeli family and an important Nazi.
John DeFore-Hollywood Reporter
It's a mesmerizing detective story ...with an oddly uplifting ending that suggests a commonality of the human spirit that supersedes ideology.
Philip Martin-Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
'The Flat' has a strange staying power that the objects in the apartment didn't.
Dan Lybarger-KC Active
An intriguing documentary about a man who discovers some huge surprises with major implications when he starts digging through the stuff left behind in his grandparent's apartment in Tel Aviv after his grandmother's death.
Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope
Arnon's filmmaking is flaccid, with TV-style interviews and rote reaction shots in place of cinematic imagery and deftly edited surprises.
Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Since there's no big payoff, the family drama documentary fizzles in the end.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Grandma's closet contains a story only the third generation can hear
Marty Mapes-Movie Habit
An earnest and deeply personal exhumation of proverbial skeletons in the family closet, The Flat is damned by its own incuriosity.
Brent Simon-Shockya.com
A grim historical detective story indeed.
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express
Once the facts have been presented, the film begins to run out of steam and one is only left to question why the filmmaker took this approach.
Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews
A film that turns a personal story into a commentary on international denial and healing after World War II.
Brian Tallerico-HollywoodChicago.com
Watching Goldfinger's curiosity be met with different answers to the same questions while his mother absorbs this new side of her own parents proves a fascinating study in family history.
Gabrielle Lipton-Paste Magazine
An unsettling look at the generational fallout from the Holocaust.
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press
