| PopMattersChris Barsanti...[a] precise, impassioned portrait of post-9/11 collateral damage. |
| CineVueJoseph WalshThe film permeates with the sense of injustice felt by the inmates and filmmakers, along with their passion to highlight Khadr's situation to a wider audiences. |
| Eye for FilmAmber WilkinsonHas a quiet, thorough and compelling insistence, made all the more powerful by its measured approach. |
| Globe and MailRick GroenEveryone should be thankful, if not for the doc's content, then certainly for its tone – there is no fulminating here.

| Time OutDavid FearThis documentary raises enough questions about the ends justifying the means during an era of endless war that it earns the right to be called essential viewing. |
| Village VoiceMelissa AndersonYou Don't Like the Truth focuses on the pathetic manipulations of Canadian intelligence officers as they interrogate Toronto-born Omar Khadr, the youngest prisoner held in Guantánamo Bay. |

| Salon.comAndrew O'HehirWhat comes through repeatedly is that questions of law and reason, or guilt and innocence, played no role in the case of Omar Khadr. |
| Observer (UK)Philip FrenchIt is an appalling tale of injustice that reflects badly on both the US administration that has incarcerated him and the Canadian government that has done nothing to seek his repatriation. |
