Among the participants who remember Guez or his film are journalist Lisa Peretz, who described it as the "Israeli Ed Wood", and the actress Ophelia Struhl,.
The film was produced by Gidi Avivi for Noga Communications – Channel 8 with the support of the Yehoshua Rabinovich Foundation for the Arts – Cinema Project.
Avner Shavit, the film critic of Walla, describes the unique manner in which Livny presents Guez's story, without being judgmental or condescending.
Shavit sees the film as "a moving, fascinating and unforgettable work of art about the different dimensions of the endless passion for film, about the eccentric dimension of local culture, and about the fact that time sometimes does not heal wounds, only makes them more painful."
The premiere screening of Looking for Moshe Guez took place at the Haifa International Film Festival, on October 19, 2011.
