What to Know

Critics Consensus

Filmed in shrouded secrecy but illuminating in its overview of how policy can calculate the worth of a human life, Naza is a disquieting interrogation of what constitutes acceptable civilian casualties.

Ty Burr Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack) 2 days ago
4/4
The simplicity of the format in "NAZA" – its visual restraint, Abraham's quiet probing – is the source of its art, forcing a viewer to "see" the violence these men describe. Go to Full Review

4/4
The framing of the film then becomes a journalistic and cinematic coup, challenging us to begin to confront how easily societies (including our own) become complicit in ongoing violence. Go to Full Review

I've watched NAZA twice now, both times in a state of quiet horror and fury -- and with enormous admiration for Abraham and Szor's courage in holding their government to account. My admiration extends to the unerring precision of their filmmaking. Go to Full Review

Petar K @RT36730498 1 day ago This film is beyond sobering. Anyone who questions its value or authenticity has either not watched it or has lost their humanity in the process of aligning themselves with what is patently a terrorist state. I have not cried in a long time no did after the credits rolled. See more Tracy S 1 day ago It will destroy your whole day while you recover from what you see in the documentary. It’s truly disturbing how nonchalant Israeli soldiers are about committing a genocide (which one outright admits). But we should be forced to confront reality however painful it is to watch. See more Steven A @RT92210066 1 day ago The imagery is obscured footage of the nightly lives of average citizens in Tel Aviv, juxtaposed with interviews of soldiers and operatives revealing atrocities on and dehumanization of "NAZA"--civilian casualties. I think that poses two questions for an Israeli audience: 1) "How can we ever live in real peace when our government is doing this?" and 2) "What the ___ are we doing?!" It's no wonder Netanyahu wants to strip the film's makers of their Israeli citizenship. It's an important film to see--if only to remind us of the inhumanity we are all capable of committing and justifying. See more Jennifer F @joelrahana 2 days ago This film.must be seen by all Americans, Israelis and people who support the state of Israel. It shows that the society and structure is systematically rotten, unequal and genocidal and no amount of hasbara can change this. I applaud the filmmakers and all who go to see this film. See more Kate G @RT52807686 2 days ago Naza gives raw commentary straight from individual former idf regarding their own role in the destruction of Gaza and its people. The final scene brings it all together and reminds us of our humanity. See more Aryeh B @AryBe 2 days ago Best thing I saw in a long time. Everyone on the planet should see the work of these brave people who endangered their lives to bring the truth to light. It's harder and harder when the history is rewritten all over the place, in the history books, online, in the AI models so everyone should watch this and then look into what happened there since 1900. This is not the first time brave jewish people talked against zionism. Just two examples from the early days: wiki/Jacob Israël de Haan wiki/Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld This documentary has everything this genre should bring to the world and after I saw it I understood why they broke the standing ovation record in Venice. I hope everyone that work on this will be safe because in the last decades we all saw what happens when you speak up against corruption, genocide, fascism/zionism. Support them, buy a ticket and see this ASAP. See more Read all reviews
