No Longer 17 (Hebrew: לא בת 17) is a 2003 Israeli drama written and directed by Itzhak Zepel Yeshurun.
It is the sequel to the director's 1982 film Noa at 17 and features actress Dalia Shimko reprising her role as Noa, the idealistic teen who is now a middle-aged woman, who experienced the United Kibbutz Movement split crisis and return to the kibbutz crisis of the 1990s.
Noa (Dalia Shimko), 45, who left Israel many years ago and is now living in Amsterdam, is forced to return to the kibbutz to help her mother (Idit Tzur), who was among the first to be ousted.
Robert Koehler of Variety described the film's pacing as "sluggish" and "unreasonably smothered in a storyline stuffed with intersecting crises faced by family members and lovers," depicting the once-iconic kibbutz as "a broken-down shell.
"[1] Another film journalist, Sarit Fuchs, noted that the ideals of "solidarity and self-realization" once associated with the kibbutz are shown here as having been "distorted into lies, deceit, and wickedness.
