Movie Reviews

Spirituality and Practice - 10/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatA documentary masterpiece chronicling the stages of the Syrian revolution and the staggering suffering of the Syrian people.
Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Gary GoldsteinAnyone with even a shred social conscience should find the comprehensive Syrian civil war documentary “Cries From Syria” a truly devastating experience.
Village Voice - 9/10 by Serena DonadoniHis interviews are informative and captivating, but the film’s gut-punch immediacy comes from the astounding visuals caught by participants on digital cameras and cellphones, including shocking images of Assad’s torturers at work.
The Playlist - 8/10 by Gary GarrisonA film that, while not especially pronounced in its structure or technical achievements, is nonetheless timely and devastating.
RogerEbert.com - 8/10 by Brian TallericoIt should be required viewing for everyone in a position of power worldwide, especially those who would choose to enable genocide and stigmatize those who flee it.
National Catholic Reporter - 7/10 by Sr. Rose PacatteSet your DVR or watch "Cries from Syria" when it is broadcast tonight. The conflict may be complicated, but the brutality and gore of the killings of hundreds of thousands for the sake of one man, Assad, while the world watches, is not.
Screen International - 7/10 by Fionnuala HalliganThe film is called, and certainly contains, cries from Syria but in itself Afineevsky’s documentary is more of a shout, a piercing scream.
Thrillist - 6/10 by Christopher CampbellThe best of the year's Syria documentaries, the film thoroughly chronicles the situation from revolution to civil war and the refugee migration.
The Hollywood Reporter - 6/10 by Boyd van HoeijWhile Afineevsky generally manages to pack in a lot of detail, analysis, nuance and humanism, this is largely absent in the last chapter, which feels like it was rushed together at the last minute and didn’t receive the same amount of time, care and thought as the film’s previous chapters
New York Times - 6/10 by Neil GenzlingerIf the idea of cozying up to Russia strikes you as harmless, or all those Syrian refugees are too far away to seem real, the HBO documentary Cries From Syria is something you ought to watch.
