Siddhant Adlakha Variety The contradiction between acknowledgment and difficult acceptance lies at the heart of Brandon Kramer’s documentary, which establishes numerous political parameters through observation, in an effort to conjure sentiment. It succeeds on occasion. Mar 23, 2025 Full Review Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter Director Brandon Kramer does an impressive job revealing the personal and geopolitical aspects of a heartbreaking true story. Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Jonathan Romney Screen International [Holding Liat] should find receptive audiences everywhere, and help bring nuance and understanding to a continuing crisis. Feb 27, 2025 Full Review Dan Bayer Next Best Picture While it’s impossible not to be moved by “Holding Liat,” Kramer also challenges his audience to consider the situation in Gaza carefully and really question what is best for the region going forward. Rated: 8/10 Jun 19, 2025 Full Review Stephen Silver The SS Ben Hecht Ever since the events of October 7, there have been nearly endless documentaries about different aspects of the tragedy, and this one might be the best one I’ve seen to date. Jun 19, 2025 Full Review Valerie Kalfrin AWFJ.org Focuses a compassionate, introspective lens on the conflict in Gaza through the feelings of an Israel-American family whose loved ones were taken hostage by Hamas. It illuminates sympathetic and varied views of people caught up in history as it unfolds. Jun 13, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
