Movie Reviews

Nonfics - 10/10 by Dan SchindelAn instructional in how imperialism in Africa has not died off, but merely taken on a new form.
Spirituality and Practice - 10/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatA riveting documentary that will bring your blood to a boil when you see how Africans are being exploited once again.
Chicago Reader - 9/10 by Ben SachsThe action always feels as if it's unfolding in present tense, the avant-garde score and disorienting extreme close-ups conveying a sense of nervous, spontaneous energy.
NYC Movie Guru - 9/10 by Avi OfferPrepare to be emotionally engrossed and enraged by this alarming and searing exposé on neocolonialism in South Sudan.
Film Experience - 9/10 by Glenn DunksDeeply unsettling and saddening, a brief glimpse of a tanned George Clooney only solidifying the tragedy. This is a pretty powerful work of non-fiction.
Seattle Weekly - 9/10 by Brian MillerLight on its feet yet dead-serious in tone, this excellent doc alternates micro to macro, ground to air.
Reeling Reviews - 9/10 by Robin CliffordThe filmmaker uses his little plane to give us a bird's eye view of a country struggling with keeping its independence against the odds.
Metro - 8/10 by Matt PriggeA a collection of stolen sights, often dripping in gallows humor, that builds to a subjective portrayal of a true, dense rot.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Ann Hornaday"We Come as Friends" has been beautifully filmed, with Sauper's God's-eye views of his plane's wing and the African landscape below resembling something Saint-Exupéry might have conjured.
Gay City News - 8/10 by Steve Erickson... [director Hubert] Sauper knows when to shut up and refrain from being the kind of white man his subjects hate, instead giving a platform to them.
