Movie Reviews

Seattle Times - 10/10 by Tom KeoghA riveting and illuminating documentary about the rise of the Khmer Rouge in the 1970s and how its shockingly mad and bloody legacy continues to impact Cambodia today.
Christian Science Monitor - 9/10 by Peter RainerA comprehensive and compelling film that does justice to the anguished history of Cambodia.
Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Robert AbeleAngkor Awakens won’t wow you with artfulness, but as an analytical narrative of tragedy, testimony and a way ahead, it has an undeniable power.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Jane HorwitzIt is the Cambodian voices that give “Angkor Awakens” a welcome glimmer of light.
The New York Times - 8/10 by Andy WebsterThe graphic evidence here, in testimony on camera and in period photographs, is absolutely harrowing.
Village Voice - 8/10 by Daphne HowlandAngkor Awakens: A Portrait of Cambodia is a superbly balanced picture of Cambodia then and now, a nation in a sort of stupor of post traumatic stress syndrome, denial and survivor's' guilt.
SF Weekly - 8/10 by Sherilyn ConnellyLieberman looks at the broader picture of how it happened and how the current generation of Cambodians move past their parents' lingering trauma - clinically diagnosed as baksbat, or "broken courage" - and make a better world for themselves.
Killer Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Andrea ChaseThis is a stunningly powerful essay on politics and people that is gut-wrenching, indispensable viewing.
San Francisco Examiner - 8/10 by Anita KatzThe commentary of these and other survivors and their descendants makes the sometimes dry documentary illuminating and often affecting.
User Review - 4/10 by Chris BHad decent intentions and covers a subject that needs to be more widely covered and understood. Derivative in focus and lacked a sense of technicality and cohesion. Felt like a forced release just so it could come out before any events would have trivialized it's existence or purpose.
