| The Arts DeskSarah KentConroy's account is so vivid that you feel as if you were there experiencing all the excitement, fear, noise and confusion. |
| The ListAllan HunterChristopher Martin’s documentary adaptation of Conroy’s book is a powerful, humbling salute to a breed of fearless figures willing to risk their lives as they bear witness to history’s unfolding horrors. |
| Film Journal InternationalGary M. KramerUnder the Wirecements Colvin’s legacy as it illustrates the value of getting to the truth and making it public. In Martin’s hands, Conroy’s story is no less compelling. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreThe harrowing nature of the work is the primary focus of this film and many others on this subject. But Colvin never comes off as the classic adrenaline junkie/Hemingway wannabe that too many of these films turn their heroes into. |
| Eye for FilmJennie KermodeMartin's film is stronger because he doesn't position Colvin as a clear-cut hero. |
| Observer (UK)Wendy IdeIt gives heart-in-the-mouth insights into the realities of war reporting, and is a testament to the value – and the price – of great journalism. |
| Sunday Independent (Ireland)Aine O'ConnorThis doc gives real insight into the woman, her motivation, the mission and the murder she wanted to expose. |
| Sunday Times (UK)Olly RichardsThis is both a study of a great journalist and a great piece of journalism itself. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawThis is a heart-stoppingly suspenseful story. Conroy is a superb commentator on war and all its cruelties and absurdities. |
| CineVueMartyn ConterioMartin’s film is a thoroughly sobering watch and leaves us with tough questions about how the West chose to deal – or rather not deal – with Assad and the refugee crisis. |
