93% The Gatekeepers

All Critics (54) | Top Critics (24) | Fresh (50) | Rotten (4)

As a political testament, the result is revealing and important.

A monolith crumbles in The Gatekeepers, and it's a sight to inspire awe.

As a clear-eyed examination of a conflict that seems to have no end, The Gatekeepers is powerful, provocative stuff.

A remarkable character study.

"The Gatekeepers" is a triumph of storytelling, a revealing view into the intricate shadow worlds of international espionage.

Moreh conducts a kind of primer in the organization's history, which is, in its own way, a history of modern Israel. It's fascinating.

An often remarkable Israeli documentary about Shin Bet, the country's internal security agency.

"The Gatekeepers" achieves something rare: It is riveting because of both its intellectual rigor and its filmmaking vigor.

I got as much enjoyment out of this film about as much as a 6 year-old would.

A remarkable behind-the-scenes peek at how Israel's in-house CIA/FBI has operated, both honorably and questionably, from the Six-Day War until now.

As a work of contemporary political history and moral philosophy, it's essential viewing.

An inside look into one of the most secretive and sophisticated intelligence apparatus in the world may not be what you expected.

Filmmaker Dror Moreh gives a unique look, from those in the know, of the inner workings of Israel's home intelligence service.

As Moreh probes the men, we, whether we agree with them or not, find ourselves drawn into their moral maze in all of its complexity.

This is a film that leaves a knot in the stomach, and no easy solutions as to how to get rid of it.

The 'other' Oscar-nominated feature about a war on terror, Dror Moreh's documentary The Gatekeepers proves more intellectually engaging than Hollywood's Zero Dark Thirty, and at least as unsettling.

Important and incomplete.
