Movie Reviews

NPR - 10/10 by Bob MondelloFilmmaker Joshua Oppenheimer is obviously treading on dicey moral ground here, empowering killers to tell their story when they've never been called to account for the barbarism that brought them to power.
Newsday - 10/10 by Rafer Guzman"The Act of Killing" works on so many levels -- psychodrama, horror movie, Orwellian nightmare, Poe story -- that sifting through your reactions could take days.
Scene-Stealers.com - 10/10 by Eric Melin... a fascinating exploration into the ways that guilt can manifest itself ... a mind-boggling two hours.
East Bay Express - 10/10 by Kelly VanceThe Absurd-Banal-Hideous-O-Meter hits eleven and breaks.
HollywoodChicago.com - 10/10 by Brian TallericoThis film is jaw-dropping. It's a must-see.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Bill Stamets[A] stunning “documentary of the imagination."
Movie Habit - 10/10 by Robert DenersteinA powerful look at an Indonesian atrocity
MLive.com - 10/10 by John SerbaOppenheimer captures dozens of shocking, candid moments... My initial reaction was disbelief.
Urban Cinefile - 10/10 by Andrew L. UrbanThe film is far too long and repetitive, even though it's often gobsmacking in its frank portrayal of these truly nasty, ugly human beings who boast on television about their killings and are ready to keep on killing. Nay, keen to do so
3AW - 10/10 by Jim SchembriA truly haunting documentary masterpiece.
