Press Quotes
"The gal on the run apparently is Efrat, a stunning but lonely secretary played by pixie-like newcomer Meital Dohan, who looks like a tough Audrey Tautou. Indeed, the "Amelie" comparison gets underlined when Efrat passes herself off as a French tourist to an old woman (Elisheva Michaeli) who takes her in when she gets in trouble."

"Talented Meital Dohan represents young Israeli culture...It's been a week since I fell in love with Meital Dohan. No, not because of the commercials, which don't scratch the tip of the talent of such a complete actress, and not because of her fashionable Lolita look, which is as natural to her as sand on the beach. I fell in love with her during her new play 'Lice'. Her acting abilities stunned me. Dohan is the authentic representative of young Israeli culture."
Seven Nights Entertainment weekly edition of Yediot Acharonot (Yediot Acharonot is the prominent and most distributed Israeli Daily Newspaper)
"Meital Dohan, is an outstanding actress with an impressive record. Pnai Plus Magazine voted her 'a great promise in theatre'. She recently graduated from acting school and already has a formidable résumé."
Pnai Plus (An Israeli TV magazine), The Chosen Ones
“You find yourself captivated by one of those magical movie moments... remember that moment when Nikita (Ann Pariuod) wakes up into a new identity? Or Maria Schnider's exhilaration in 'Last Tango in Paris'? Dohan, with her sexy, tomboy look and her French-speaking subtle acting, gives us a rare image... she brings into the role qualities that transcend time and place."

"It is worth noting that Meital Dohan's whining in 'Ugly Esti' is quite funny, actually very funny. Clearly we are witnessing a rising comedian."
Raanan Shaked, Yediot Achronot (Main Israeli Daily Newspaper)
Meital Dohan effectively portrays the bride's sense of mysterious melancholy, masking the unfulfilled passions of a past love.
