Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times 12/02/2015
It's no longer clear whether the filmmaker got sidetracked and fell in love or the documentary is simply the byproduct of some home movies filmed under extraordinary circumstances. Go to Full Review Ken Jaworowski New York Times 11/11/2015
Long before the director inserts scenes from her own wedding video into "Rock in the Red Zone," it's apparent that she's grown quite close to her subject. Go to Full Review Nick Schager Film Journal International 11/10/2015
A bracing documentary about an Israeli town where music is the coping mechanism for constant rocket-firing warfare. Go to Full Review Christopher Llewellyn Reed Hammer to Nail 07/12/2018

Unfortunately, Rock in the Red Zone could have benefited from a significantly more focused hand. It gets easily distracted and periodically forgets altogether about the band at its center. Go to Full Review Joe Bendel Epoch Times 05/18/2016
4.5/5

07/11/2018 By far one of the most touching, well scripted movies I have seen. Describing he situation in Israel during the period of insane repetitive rocket attacks on civilian Israelis amazingly well. And great Music by the Stars' husband. See more 04/08/2017 This film is such a touching story. I learned so much from this film. This is a powerful American perspective in a war zone. The history, overview of the conflict, and Bialis' story is a perfect combination to allow compassion and understanding. See more Read all reviews
