Leave your thoughts about Welcome to Sarajevo.
| Dallas ObserverMichael SragowWinterbottom has never before done such potent work; he's created a fiction film about the siege of Sarajevo that bristles with the raw, unnerving textures of a battlefield documentary. |
| TimeRichard SchickelThis could have turned out to be an exercise in easy sentiment, easy to shrug off. But Frank Cottrell Boyce's script is carefully understated, and director Michael Winterbottom has achieved a remarkably seamless blend of fictional and factual footage. |
| Film ThreatTom MeekThe result is crisp, brutal and utterly inspirational. |
| NewsweekAndrea C. BasoraUsing an almost seamless combination of documentary and fictional footage, Winterbottom provides a vivid picture of life during wartime -- so vivid in fact that it is often difficult to watch. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumThe power comes from Winterbottom's rigorous sense of storytelling, which manages to show and tell terrible tales without telegraphing emotionalism |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliWelcome to Sarajevo isn't just the story of an outsider's perspective of the conflict; it's a compelling examination of the role the media played in reporting and shaping the average person's views of the war. |
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghBleak, darkly humorous and surprisingly unsentimental, Michael Winterbottom's film has the desperate air of a cri de coeur, and unlike many fiction films about war, its use of real-life footage seems in no way inappropriate or exploitative. |
| Washington PostStephen HunterAnd, while there's nothing revolutionary or extraordinary about the dramatic narrative, the subtext gives Winterbottom's movie its force. |
| Salon.comCharles TaylorWinterbottom's film is openly a polemic. Messy and visceral, with an articulate, pointed anger that's recognizably British, Welcome to Sarajevo hits with an impact that's not diminished by the fact that Sarajevo's uneasy peace has held. |
| San Francisco ExaminerBarbara ShulgasserThe movie is well made by director Michael Winterbottom ("Jude"), with a minimum of overdramatics. |
