Rating: 2/4 --
Despite some remarkable unembedded footage, Andrew Berends' is yet another disappointingly superficial, unfocused and one-sided documentary on the conflict in Iraq.
New York Post
Rating: 2.5/4 --
It makes you rue the most indelicate of all combat euphemisms -- 'collateral damage.'
New York Daily News
Rating: 3.5/5 --
From the filmmaker Andrew Berends comes another documentary about the occupation of Iraq, but this time the story is told from the Iraqi point of view.
New York Times
Rating: 2.5/5 --
Documentary technique is poor, but Berends imparts a strong sense of the culture and the sort of dilemma that faces every member of this torn society.

Cinema Signals
3.5 stars out of 5 -- Andrew Berends provides a moving look at life in the war-torn nation, highlighting the country's beauty and, less unexpectedly, the complexity of the situation on the ground.
Box Office
Rating: 3/4 --
A film that's by turns touching, infuriating, heartbreaking and confusing -- much like the war itself. And unlike much of what we've seen before.
Newark Star-Ledger
A needed corrective to superficially pro-American news reports and documentaries from the reactionary right.
