Critics Consensus

Incorporating real-life elements that are as difficult to witness as they are impossible to forget, The Voice of Hind Rajab is a harrowing docudrama that makes a powerful appeal to humanity.

The result feels like a cavalier stunt-- an audio-documentary shrine erected on a wobbly visual-narrative foundation... “The Voice of Hind Rajab” ultimately overpowers the voice of Hind Rajab.

About as powerful as cinema gets. Its hybrid blend of documentary audio and devastating dramatisation is heart-wrenchingly, shatteringly effective.

B+

A harrowing recreation of an episode that encapsulates the horror that the Israeli reaction to Hamas’ brutal attacks of October 7 unleashed on the population of Gaza...the visceral power... is undeniable.

Because they use the actual live recording it is devastating. The acting is quite good, builds tension well

When Omar asked Hanood what the name of her school was and she said A Happy Childhood, that broke me. Never been so stressed watching a movie. Cried in my car for 10 minutes after

Great acting, great directing, excellent use of close-up photography to portray human emotions. Very realistic depiction of the daily sacrifices of Red Crecent workers in war torn areas such as Gaza and the middle east.

Accurate in its story telling, with suburb acting, intense scenes depicting the last hours of Hind Rajab and her ultimate fate to an immoral army. The movie gave us a bird’s eye of the valiant actions of Palestine’s Red Crescent humanitarian workers who bravely given their lives to save countless lives in Gaza.
