The Voice of Hind Rajab
Finally got to watch this because it was in the Top 250. I fear it might be as over-hyped as it was depressing.
I don't really know what to say about this because the true story is horrifying and unpleasant to think about. It goes by quickly, but nothing in this grabbed me as opposed to other documentaries about real life tragedies. They Shall Not Grow Old comes to mind as a great doc for how great its editing and artistic flair were. The only other note I have is that Motaz Malhees (who played Omar) did a great job and was the highlight for me!
Quick aside, but the producers list on this is insane!

Mini Review: Finally got to watch this because it was in the Top 250. I fear it might be as over-hyped as it was depressing. I don't really know what to say about this because the true story is horrifying and unpleasant to think about. It's paced well, but nothing in this grabbed me as opposed to other documentaries about real life tragedies. "They Shall Not Grow Old" comes to mind as a great doc. The only other notes that I have is that Motaz Malhees did a great job and was the highlight for me!
