FILM SYNOPSIS
What begins as a chronicle of Liat Atzili’s parents, sister, and children’s efforts to secure her return from captivity, becomes a portrait of conflicting impulses towards anger, indifference, and compassion straining the bonds of one grieving family. HOLDING LIAT won the Berlinale Best Documentary Award in February 2025 and has continued to receive accolades. The score, by Jordan Dykstra (composer of the 2024 BAFTA and Oscar-winning Best Feature Documentary 20 DAYS IN MARIUPOL), will be released on January 9, 2026 in tandem with the public theatrical release of the film.
PRESS
“If there are moments where Kramer definitely turns on the waterworks, with a score by Jordan Dykstra amplifying the impact of such scenes, the movie remains a more even-handed account of events relative to so much out there, whether on TV or social media.”
“…the politically potent and emotionally gripping new documentary”
(Jordan Mintzer, Hollywood Reporter, February 20, 2025)
“…as a work aimed at capturing a thorny perspective, it’s an adequately thorny match.”
(Siddhant Adlakha, Variety, February 24, 2025)
“The film is structured and edited in such a way as to emphasise narrative clarity and the emotional content of its family portraiture, with Jordan Dykstra’s music”
(Jonathan Romney, Screen Daily, February 26, 2025)
“Given the intensity of the subject, it’s a very beautiful movie. The music, in particular, really strikes me as just gorgeous, by a guy named Jordan Dykstra.”
(Tom Hall, NPR (WYPR: Midday), November 13, 2025)
“…this powerful and complex documentary, directed by Brandon Kramer (a distant relative of some of the people involved) and co-produced by Darren Aronofsky, is a reminder that the situation now can’t be understood without remembering the Hamas massacre – how it was calculated to provoke a rage-filled reaction that would discredit Israel internationally, what it meant and continues to mean within Israel and how the political and ideological connotations of the hostages have themselves evolved.”
(Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, September 10, 2025)
