Gaza has received generally positive reviews from critics. As of August 2020, 95% of the 22 reviews compiled on Rotten Tomatoes are positive, with an average rating of 7.58/10. The website's critics consensus reads: "Uniquely revelatory and altogether enlightening, Gaza allows audiences to settle into the unique rhythms of ordinary life in a region roiled by conflict."[4]

The film was also rated four stars by Wendy Ide,[5] a reviewer from The Observer, and Peter Bradshaw.[6]

gollark: That probably works best in advanced, functional economies like the ones you won't have after an apocalypse.
gollark: There are probably ways to keep them in line as long as you don't do anything horribly egregious.
gollark: They might complain and rebel.
gollark: You could have them make food if conditions allow it, but then you have to defend the land and it's inconvenient.
gollark: But you have to feed them and such, and that's inconvenient.
