Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times 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. Dec 2, 2015 Full Review Ken Jaworowski New York Times 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. Nov 11, 2015 Full Review Nick Schager Film Journal International A bracing documentary about an Israeli town where music is the coping mechanism for constant rocket-firing warfare. Nov 10, 2015 Full Review Christopher Llewellyn Reed Hammer to Nail This ... is the inspirational true story of how the people of Sderot manage to rock on in the middle of danger. Peace. Jul 12, 2018 Full Review Brian Thompson Film Threat 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. Rated: 5/10 Jul 9, 2018 Full Review Joe Bendel Epoch Times At times it is harrowing, but it is also funny and deeply passionate, particularly the music. Rated: 4.5/5 May 18, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
