| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohThere won't be a more powerful, horrific or inspiring film this year than Nanking. |
| San Jose Mercury NewsBruce NewmanAnyone who sees Nanking should know going in what a brutal story it is, but no one should miss it because of a restrictive rating. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenWhat makes the film bearable is the knowledge that a few people did what they could to hold the line against humanity’s worst instincts. The voices in Nanking speak for the persistence of good in times and places where a moral crevice opens to reveal a vision of hell on earth. |
| Window to the MoviesJeffrey ChenSome of the stories and images here are simply, shakingly unforgettable ... The punch it delivers to the gut of viewers indicates the documentary makes the kind of impact it was seeking. |

| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertNanking is grim but ultimately uplifting, a reminder that even in dangerous times, brave individuals can hold the line against barbarism. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)A brutal introduction to events that should be better known. |
