What to Know

Critics Consensus

An exposé on the Taliban that can only show what documentarian Ibrahim Nash'at was allowed, Hollywoodgate provides an incomplete but vital glimpse into Afghanistan's new status quo.

Christina Newland iNews.co.uk Hollywoodgate shows the disturbing results of the power vacuum created by US military intervention in Afghanistan. Rated: 4/5 Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post “Hollywoodgate” is a fascinatingly — and sometimes frustratingly — oblique portrait of a country and its people in the tragic grip of extremism. Rated: 3/4 Aug 30, 2024 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) [A] fascinating, chilling film. Rated: 4/5 Aug 19, 2024 Full Review Ricardo Gallegos La Estatuilla While the depth of Hollywoodgate is limited by its very nature, the footage Nash'at shows us is of immense value... [Full Review in Spanish] Dec 21, 2024 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots A fascinating documentary that offers a rare glimpse behind the curtain of extremism. Nov 14, 2024 Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) How Nash’at managed to get himself and his film out is another story, one that presumably could not be told here for safety reasons. Still, an amazing piece of work and an example of true journalistic bravery. Nov 14, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
