Leave your thoughts about Where Hands Touch.
| The Film StageJared MobarakDespite moments that risk subverting the vile treachery of Nazis in a bid to humanize this would-be soldier underneath his uniform, Asante refuses to erase the complexity of the situation at hand. |
| ObserverRex ReedA tale of trauma and survival, Where Hands Touch is grim, compelling stuff, but the tireless humanism of the two leading characters makes it undeniably moving, aided by the careful and empathetic guidance of British writer-director Amma Asante (Belle, A United Kingdom). |
| Film Journal InternationalStephen WhittyWhere Hands Touch, for all its weaknesses, does boast two strong performances by its actresses. |
| Shockya.comHarvey S. KartenSimplistic, saccharine script plus the absurdity of everyone's speaking English. Even on Amazon Prime episodes like "Jack Ryan," the Arabs speak Arabic. |
| Los Angeles TimesKimber MyersAsante usually excels at sharing stories audiences haven’t seen before, so it’s unfortunate that this one feels so dully familiar. |
| Cinema AxisCourtney SmallWhile not hitting the heights it could have, Where Hands Touch is a reminder that there are plenty of stories from this era that have yet to be told. |
| Black Girl NerdsJamie BroadnaxA film that shows love conquers all - and still can be found, even in the most demoralizing conditions. |
| Screen InternationalAllan HunterOne of the issues with Where Hands Touch is that whilst some of the details and specifics feel fresh, the drama often feels desperately hackneyed. |
| The PlaylistJoe BlessingEvery character must negotiate their own boundaries while trying to hold on to what, and whom, they love, and the detailed portrait of that struggle saves the movie from its second half mistakes. |
| Another GazeKatherine ConnellWhile Amma Asante has assigned herself a weighty responsibility in taking on Where Hands Touch, she certainly understands the weight. |
