Leave your thoughts about Hidden in Plain Sight.
| Village VoiceJoshua LandJohn H. Smihula's compelling video documentary aims for both hearts and minds. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanThough Army officials vigorously defend the school, after watching so many grim interviews with victims of the school's alumni, agreeing with Smihula's skepticism is finally unavoidable. |
| Film Journal InternationalMaria GarciaWon't sway anyone on the right, and for those on the left, in its narrow aim of tripping up General LeMoyne and his ilk, it is frustratingly naive. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Ray ConlogueThe producers of Hidden in Plain Sight decided that they couldn't deal with Sept. 11 in the film without losing focus on its principal subject. The result is that the film stands as a testimonial to the world as it existed before that date, a world very different from the one we now live in. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxA move that would be hilariously absurd if it weren't so scary. |
| Film ThreatEric CamposThis film is designed to turn your stomach and make you feel ashamed of your fellow man. |
| The New York TimesDave KehrA sober, focused piece that asks Americans to take another look at what is going on in their own backyard. |
| VarietyKen EisnerA relentless excoriation of the School of the Americas. |
| The Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenA worthy title for cable nets scheduling hard-hitting documentary fare |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoThe result is anti-Army propaganda rather than a balanced piece of reporting. |
