Movie Reviews

Chicago Reader - 10/10 by Ben SachsThe movie feels too short at two hours; it offers a worthwhile overview of the subjects but doesn't treat any of them in much depth.
RogerEbert.com - 10/10 by Sheila O'MalleyWatchers of the Sky, an intricate and immensely powerful documentary, directed by Edet Belzberg, is both the story of Raphael Lemkin as well as a harrowing examination of genocide, past, recent, and ongoing.
Christian Science Monitor - 9/10 by Peter RainerEdet Belzberg’s documentary Watchers of the Sky, which was a decade in the making, reclaims the reputation of Raphael Lemkin, a Polish Holocaust refugee who not only coined the term “genocide” but also invented the concept of categorizing mass murder as an international crime.
Hitfix - 9/10 by Daniel Fienberg[Edet Belzberg] wants this to be a documentary that doesn't just prompt casual discussion, but rather raises the biggest issues imaginable. Her approach is analytical, poetic and, when one of the subject tells the story that gives the film its name, unexpectedly emotional.
Village Voice - 9/10 by Alan ScherstuhlAccomplishes the nearly impossible trick of updating viewers on the prevalence of genocide in the 20th and 21st centuries without rubbing our noses in our failure to stop it.
The Hollywood Reporter - 9/10 by Duane ByrgeSad and disturbing, this smartly and conscientiously crafted film is a powerful wake-up call, heard but not yet implemented, by the “civilized” world.
Variety - 9/10 by Dennis HarveyAn impressive and artful cinematic thesis of palpable substance.
Washington Post - 9/10 by Stephanie MerryEditing these unwieldy stories into a cohesive, meaningful way must have been a massive undertaking. Editors Jenny Golden and Karen Sim did such an impressive job that even at two hours — an eternity for a doc — the movie never feels too long.
indieWire - 9/10 by Steve GreeneBelzberg presents a view of modern challenges in combating genocide that, while not entirely thorough, is a sobering reminder of the difficulty of those efforts.
Spirituality and Practice - 9/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatAn extraordinary documentary about a heroic peacemaker who coined the term "genocide" and fought to bring those responsible for mass killings to trial.
