| Salon.comAndrew O'HehirIt's a fascinating, haunting, unintentionally gruesome spectacle with, as Perry has said, echoes of Shakespearean tragedy. |
| The New York TimesDana StevensA cautionary essay on the risks to democracy posed by the fight against terrorism. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoPerry - who also produced, wrote and lensed - was able to talk Fujimori into letting her interview him on camera in Japan. He puts on a great show. |
| New York Daily NewsJack MathewsFujimori comes off as amiable and in full denial, recalling the positive headlines of his presidency - and there were many - while laying the scandals off on Montesinos. |
| The A.V. ClubScott TobiasIf the end justifies the means, it would be hard to deny that the legacy of Alberto Fujimori, the disgraced former President of Peru, is largely triumphant. |
| Film ThreatJeremy MathewsPerry creates an objective yet not overly dry character study of the man, now a fugitive living in Japan, as he recalls his days in power. |
| Chicago ReaderJoshua KatzmanTo her credit, Perry isn't taken in by Fujimori's attempts to distance himself from the controversies that plagued his presidency. Helped by Kim Roberts's excellent editing, she succinctly chronicles his unlikely ascent and subsequent collapse. |
| Village VoiceMichael AtkinsonThe Fall of Fujimori is more-or less-than the flip side to last week's Film Forum Peru primer "State of Fear": It's a prismatic shudder, a maddening manifestation of historical ambivalence. |
| New York Magazine/VultureJohn LeonardWe are... riveted by Ellen Perry's The Fall of Fujimori... |
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen WhittyIt never loses sight of the grim reality behind Fujimori's eccentricities, or the thousands of people arrested, kidnapped, raped, tortured, executed or, simply, 'disappeared.' |
