Hollywoodgate Reviews
Rolling Stone
Chris Vognar
Hollywoodgate throws us in the deep end and compels us to swim. For the most part it's worth the effort.
The Playlist
Christian Gallichio
"Hollywoodgate" trades these more nuanced characterizations for blunt force storytelling, but its nevertheless incredibly effective.
Variety
Jessica Kiang
The sledgehammer impact of "Hollywoodgate" comes from director Nash'at peering into the Taliban leadership's inner circle for a year and finding not even a glimmer of goodness.
indieWire
Christian Blauvelt
There's another, even more instructive function here the film provides, though: Much of what we see is what the Taliban wants us to see, but as that's what's really important to them, it's also what we need to see to understand them.
The Film Stage
Rory O'Connor
All in, this is a brave piece of filmmaking that builds to a frightening climax: Nash'at creates an image of nervous ineptitude before pummeling you with the harshest of realities.
