Entertainment Reviews:
With such incendiary opinion on offer, it might have been a temptation for Moreh to lay out these testimonies end to end... What makes the film so satisfying, though, is the appreciable craft with which the material is organized and presented.

Sight and Sound
What these tough and tough-minded men have to say about Israeli politicians, and the nation's current stance vis à vis its enemies, is stunning and edifying in equal measure.
Wall Street Journal
No matter your opinion on the Israel-Palestine situation, The Gatekeepers is necessary viewing. It's very impressive that a documentary about Israel's intelligence-gathering organization comes off as neither pro-Israel nor anti-Israel.

There is a powerful moment in [the film] when Diskin, head of the Shin Bet from 2005 to 2011, candidly remarks that for the Palestinians he is himself a terrorist. That is not relativism but realism, and the welcome sign of an empathetic imagination.

Little White Lies
3.5 stars out of 4 -- THE GATEKEEPERS cuts deeper than any political thriller. It's a powerhouse.
The Rolling Stones
It's the collective, pained urgency in their voices that makes this documentary not only an important work of filmmaking but also, just perhaps, of peacemaking as well. -- Grade: A
