A young Israeli woman watches footage of life in the occupied West Bank in a lab-like setting and voices her reactions. The footage of Israeli military occupation forces her to re-examine her beliefs and biases.

David Fear

Rolling Stone

Even with its simple set-up and at a scant 71 minutes, there's an entire buffet for thought laid out here. Alexandrowicz may have given us the single best documentary of the year; he has undoubtedly given us one of the most vital.

Rated: 4.5/5

New York Times

Though moderately compelling to bear witness to one individual's objections in real time, "The Viewing Booth" touches on gloomy truths about spectatorship in the digital era that might have felt novel a decade ago.

Guardian

Not just a valuable crash course in digital-age hermeneutics, this is a gauntlet thrown down to film-makers with an old-fashioned belief in the truth.

Rated: 3/5

Her reactions reveal her biases, as well as how images can shape our perspective.

Its simple construction clears room for a fascinating extended psychological profile in bias.
