Critic Reviews
-
V.A. Musetto, New York Post
Anti-Army propaganda rather than a balanced piece of reporting.
-
Dave Kehr, New York Times
[Hidden in Plain Sight] brings together material from several politically engaged films about the government's activity in Latin America, creating a sort of anthology of atrocity.
-
Joshua Land, Village Voice
Compelling.
-
Sheri Linden, Hollywood Reporter
A worthy title for cable nets scheduling hard-hitting documentary fare.
-
Maria Garcia, Film Journal International
Won't sway anyone on the right, and for those on the left, in its narrow aim of tripping up General LeMoyne and his ilk, it is frustratingly naive.
