Leave your thoughts about No Man's Land.
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranA savage comedy about the war in the former Yugoslavia that artfully mixes comic absurdism with a passion for what's right and a concern for the individuality of all concerned. |
| Baltimore SunMichael SragowNo Man's Land is a 98-minute wonder: this story of three men in a trench renews the meaning of the word "trenchant." |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonIn the remarkable, ferociously intelligent new film No Man's Land, Bosnian writer-director Danis Tanovic gives us a movie portrait of the Bosnian War, a conflict that has devastated his country, friends and neighbors -- and found in it both shocking humor and searing, relentless tragedy. |
| New Times (L.A.)Jean OppenheimerTanovic describes it as "a very serious film with a sense of humor." It is an apt description for a very remarkable film, one of the best of the year. |
| New York PostLou LumenickAn absorbing, deeply affecting, well-acted --and remarkably evenhanded -- antiwar statement. It's also incredibly suspenseful and very blackly funny. |
| Portland OregonianShawn LevyAlmost more valuable as a piece of foreign policy than as the highly accomplished work of cinema it is. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleThe film is exciting in two big ways: its simplicity of story (Tanovic does not get bogged down trying to give us an epic history) and the breadth of Tanovic's vision. |
| TimeRichard SchickelFierce, funny and finally devastating, Tanovic's superb film offers a timely look at the roots of civil war and acts of terrorism on both sides that can be exploited by political and media hypocrites alike. |
| Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternTanovic steers his story away from feel-good brotherhood clichés and toward the darker reaches of human nature. The principal cast is excellent. |
| Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanBegins and ends quietly, like stirrings of thunder from a distant storm. In between comes a tragedy that rolls over us like a compact hurricane. |
