What I write here doesn’t matter. The movie speaks for itself.
Free Palestine, now and forever.
the horror is still unfathomable, the helplessness all too familiar. both should haunt us for the rest of history.
Not a single word should be spent trying to intellectualise this film. It speaks for itself. Free Palestine.
Le film à soutenir en salles cette semaine est La Voix de Hind Rajab : un call center en Palestine reçoit un appel d'une enfant de 6 ans coincée dans une voiture constamment mitraillée par l'armée israélienne.
Les enregistrements téléphoniques sont authentiques, c'est la vraie voix de l'enfant que vous entendez, le film va brouiller les pistes entre réalité et fiction en montrant aussi des vidéos des vrais événements.
C'est à la fois un huis clos efficace qui utilise beaucoup les projections à l'image (carte, son, photos, dessins) mais qui crée aussi des conflits entre personnages qui veulent tous bien faire. C'est une critique de la lenteur et inefficacité du système mais surtout et évidemment des rouages mis en place…
FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA PALESTINE WILL BE FREE
I don’t think I can adequately rate a recording of lives lost too soon. Its importance, heartache, and call for justice transcends a scale. I just hope as many people as possible bear witness to the archiving of this crime.
"Do you really think the voice of a terrified little girl will spark their empathy?"
There is no war in Gaza. There is only genocide.
We are witnessing the most well-documented and live-streamed genocide in human history, and we're powerless to stop it. We're "moved," but are we really moving?
[QCinema International Film Festival 2025, Gateway Mall]
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
here we go - the film that you expected is delivered on the silver plate, and it doesn't fall shy on what it evokes with the crowd at the mostra: a record breaking 23 minutes standing ovation, heavy emotions even at the press screening. a few "boo!"s, i see many guys headshaking-but-rather-remaining-in-silence-these-days-cause-you-know... genocide and stuff. outside of the cinema a camera team taking in direct affection, looking out for people in the crowd with obviously tearstained faces, confronting them directly. "we're from entertainment news, you'll find us on YouTube". sure, dude.
first of all Ben-Hania's film is not a good one, objectively spoken. it's a manipulative construction of documentary material to shatter you insight, mixed with bland acting and without…
“355 bullets.”
No amount of bullets should ever be fired at anyone let alone a car with multiple children, what war is this? Saw this at a festival screening and I’m still trying to process what I witnessed. The theater was completely packed, and by the end you could hear people loudly sobbing all around me, myself included. This film absolutely floored me. What this little girl went through is beyond words, beyond comprehension, a true horror that no child should ever endure. Kaouther Ben Hania directs with such restraint and power that it hurts to watch but you simply can’t look away. It’s a film that rips the air out of your lungs and forces you to listen, to feel the unbearable reality it’s showing. I walked out shaking, angry, heartbroken, and grateful that a film like this exists. Phenomenal cinema, necessary storytelling, and probably one of the most important films of our time. I’m beyond speechless.
Hind Rajab, a 6-year old girl was trapped in a car for hours, surrounded by the bodies of her cousins, with tanks everywhere, and bullets raining down from all directions.
Her story, her voice, her innocence, her words—something you can’t easily recover from. It’s tragic, heartbreaking, and deeply painful. And this is just one story among thousands.
Free Palestine, always and Forever.
Free Palestine right fucking now
