Amazing Grace is a 1992 Israeli film directed by Amos Guttman.

It is one of the few Israeli films dealing with gay subjects and the only one so far which has dared to deal with AIDS. The film includes a biography details the life of Guttman and it was his last film before he died of AIDS.

The film won the Wolgin Award at the Jerusalem Film Festival and Best Film award at the Haifa International Film Festival.

The young 'Jonathan' (Gal Heuberger) leaves his family's home in the Moshav, moves to "the big city" of Tel Aviv, to find an alienated and alone world. He falls in love with Thomas (Sharon Alexander), an HIV patient, and a touching and painful love story develops between the two.
