Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
In January, 2004, in Al-Falluja, Iraq, a documentary film crew follows an infantry squad of the 82nd Airborne, US Army. Cameras accompany the squad of seven on day and night patrols, as they watch their backs, kick down doors, search for weapons, interrogate women, detain a few people, and listen to the complaints of locals. At their barracks, a former Baathist retreat called Dreamland, the men talk: about why they enlisted, civilian prospects, feelings about the war and Iraqis, where they were when a comrade died a few weeks before. We see them wait for translators and try a few words of Arabic; we hear their frustrations. We watch them pressured to reenlist. Tensions mount in Falluja.
Leave your thoughts about Occupation: Dreamland.
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanStraightforward and immensely powerful, the movie offers a blunt assessment of the war from soldiers currently fighting it, and their perspective is not pretty. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisOccupation: Dreamland presents a compelling study of composure and decency in the midst of overwhelming pointlessness. |
| Washington PostStephen HunterIt's a movie with the exciting parts cut out. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereWatching Occupation: Dreamland, which was directed by Ian Olds and Garrett Scott, anyone old enough to remember news footage from Vietnam will experience a powerful, dismaying sense of deja vu. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullAside from the year it was made, there's nothing that Dreamland adds to a very, very full genre |
| New York PostKyle SmithMisleadingly billed as a Fallujah documentary, Occupation: Dreamland covers a six-week period when not much was happening there. |
| Film ThreatStina ChynA reminder that our soldiers are people not unlike yourself. You can think what you want to about the war, but you have to respect that they put their lives on the line. |
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergGunner Palace is getting all the press -- while Occupation: Dreamland is easily just as good. If not better. |
| Dallas ObserverRobert WilonskyScott and Olds' is an essential movie, and one of the year's very best. |
| Film ThreatMerle BertrandThe greatest accomplishment of Occupation: Dreamland is showing those of us on the home front that it really is possible, Republican howling to the contrary aside, to support our troops without supporting the war itself. |
