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.

2/5

I found the use of raw reality within what amounts to a traditional suspense framework not so much offensive as jarringly misjudged, rendering the craft of Ben Hania and her team beside the point (this includes the actors, however talented they might be).

Seamlessly blending actual voice recordings with dramatic reconstructions, the film is a harrowing and politically potent thriller about the true price of war.

If you ever want to see the power of cinema then this is the film for you. So powerful it has the power to change one's political opinion while breaking your heart at the same time.

A heart wrenching story about a tragedy. The re-telling is wonderfully retold through a combination of reenactment and actual audio and video accounts.

a moving dramatization of an event that shook the world via social media. as an emergency service worker myself, I wonder why U.S. based EMS workers didn't boldly related and respond in solidarity with Hind and fellow Red Crescent workers
