Movie Reviews

Time Out - 10/10 by Derek AdamsThis is patient, persistent, probing and fearless journalism of the highest order and it shocks to the core.
Film-Forward.com - 10/10 by Nora Lee MandelA powerful personal quest, the first film to show living perpetrators of genocide from the highest policymaker down through the administrator and the lowest killer.
About.com - 10/10 by Jennifer MerinOne of the year's best documentaries. Sambath's refinement in revealing the tragedy and epic brutality of Cambodia's killing fields makes the story all the more shocking and heartbreaking. You must see this movie!
Shared Darkness - 9/10 by Brent SimonThis documentary centering around the Khmer Rouge's Nuon Chea is a sobering reminder that amorality can indeed not only exist but also apparently thrive in a vacuum.
Time Out - 8/10 by Eric HynesRestraint is precisely what makes this quietly harrowing documentary, composed mostly of interviews with former Khmer Rouge henchmen, so uncommonly devastating.
Boxoffice Magazine - 8/10 by John P. McCarthyAs if the subject matter weren't disconcerting enough, Daniel Pemberton's music is positively eerie.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Gary GoldsteinHow the genial Sambath remains so circumspect throughout his taut sessions with Chea is remarkable, as is so much of this must-see exposé.
Movie Habit - 8/10 by Marty MapesA patient filmmaker gets his historic interview
Empire Magazine - 8/10 by Patrick PetersIntense and harrowing, Sambath's documentary will pin you to your seat.
ViewLondon - 8/10 by Matthew TurnerA powerful, well made documentary that serves as an important historical record, though it's understandably devastating to watch.
