Nicolas Rapold New York Times 3d
By concluding with Liat’s own reflections on the region, Kramer quietly but forcefully recognizes that the conflict cannot continue as it has. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian Sep 11
4/5
Holding Liat is a valuable work, not least for showing us that Israel and Netanyahu are not synonymous. Go to Full Review Siddhant Adlakha Variety Mar 23

It succeeds on occasion. Go to Full Review Christopher Campbell Nonfics (Substack) 2d
As far from propaganda as it can be for an issue and situation that has been heavily propagandized from multiple sides. Go to Full Review Mark Dujsik Mark Reviews Movies 2d
3/4
In spite of how harrowing this story is ... Holding Liat is ultimately a hopeful film... Go to Full Review Edward Douglas The Weekend Warrior (Substack) 3d
