May 5, 2008Ouch. Pretty scathing, mostly non-partisan look at the events that have led us to the current mess in Iraq. Unfortunately, like most films of this type, a lot of evidence is hearsay or anecdotal; it's hard to prove a point when most of the key players refuse to participate. St...( read more)

April 5, 2008I've seen many documentaries on the war in Iraq and this is by far the best I've seen. Straight facts from the people who were there. From soldiers to those working on Iraq's restoration.

March 18, 2009This is a movie that I wanted to *really* like - it's edited very well and delivers a story that infuriates and confounds. But, my problem is the lack of counterpoint - everything is so one-sided, it's a little hard to take at face value. Was the Bush administration really near-o...( read more)

No End in Sight removes the conspiracy-mongering ideas and interviewees and uses credible sources and informants to formulate it's argument against American incompetence with handling the war in Iraq. -
December 22, 2008Remarkably in-depth, this film refuses to become an expansive political warcry and instead focuses effectively and pointedly upon the facts surrounding the management of a country under occupation without questioning the ethics of doing so in the first place.

Even dedicated news junkies will gain new understanding of a campaign with no end in sight. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
No End in Sight is the most coolheaded of the Iraq war documentaries, the most methodical and the least polemical. Yet it's the one that will leave audiences the most shattered, angry and astounded. full review

Rehashes information you already knew and tries to inflate trivia into scandal. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
No End in Sight offers an emphatic, well-supported answer to a question that has already begun to be mooted on television talk shows: Who lost Iraq?.

David Edelstein, New York Magazine
Soberly narrated by Campbell Scott, the film is a meticulous, thoroughly engrossing lesson in how not to win friends (or wars) and influence people (or potential terrorists). full review
