Movie Reviews

Chicago Tribune - 10/10 by Allison BenediktThis is an amazing movie, released at a frightening time and made under remarkable circumstances.
Village Voice - 10/10 by Michael AtkinsonWinterbottom was set on bare-bones realism, and so the scalding lyricism of ferocious terrain and sociopolitical absurdity seen in, say, "Kandahar" or "A Time for Drunken Horses," is never resourced.
Charlotte Observer - 10/10 by Lawrence ToppmanYour heart will go out to [the characters], especially if your family made an arduous effort to reach America among the waves of immigrants over the last 130 years.
Washington Post - 9/10 by Desson ThomsonAlthough fictionalized, it feels depressingly real. It's a 90-minute newsreel with a broken heart.
Compuserve - 9/10 by Harvey S. KartenA startling, faux-documentary recreation of the journey of two Afghans smuggled from Peshawar to London.
Boston Globe - 9/10 by Ty BurrA tremendous human drama, with each stage of its characters' journey a white-knuckle thriller in miniature.
Reeling Reviews - 9/10 by Robin CliffordI had to keep reminding myself, during the course of "In This World," that I was watching a fictional film, not a chronicle of real events.
Washington Post - 9/10 by Stephen HunterIt's of an odd genre: a formally scripted (by Tony Grisoni) feature with a musical score that adheres totally to journalistic accuracy and willfully ignores formula, melodrama and uplift. It's a real down-lift.
Nitrate Online - 8/10 by Elias SavadaA suffocating, bewildering journey that leaves you gasping for the comfort of your easy chair...
PopMatters - 8/10 by Elbert VenturaThe film fits neatly into Winterbottom's eclectic canon.
