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.

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

4.5/5

A heartbreaking dramatization of a little Palestinian girl who was trapped in the Gaza war focuses on the human element rather than angry politics, elevating its power.
