Film Reviews

"Both harrowing and heartbreaking, this gut-punch of a true-life drama digs inside the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict by emphasizing humanity rather than politics."

–Todd Jorgenson, Cinemalogue

""The Voice of Hind Rajab" exists not just as a clarion call to say never again, it also asks you to sit with this violence. Not with the bloodshed, not with the abstraction of a number in a news article. But with this violence." 

–Marya E. Gates, RogerEbert.com

"It's an uneasy dramatisation that in the wrong hands could easily be labelled indecorous, but with Kaouther at the helm, and Hind's mother's blessing, it's nothing short of an urgent, empathetic articulation of humanity at its best and at its worst."

–Hanna Flint, The New Arab
