Critic Reviews
-
Jonathan F. Richards, Film.com
Thoughtful, sobering, hopeful, despairing, inspirational, depressing, and just in time for the holidays comes Darfur Now, a documentary about genocide in the Sudan.
-
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald
Informative and effortlessly gripping.
-
Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Slick, impassioned, and guardedly upbeat.
-
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
The title says Darfur Now -- not Darfur Then, not Darfur Sometime. But the question it asks emphatically is, Darfur Now What?
-
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
A disquieting, and somewhat disjointed, call to arms.
