(1 - 10) of 10 OFCS Rating: 80% Fresh Page   1   "...builds to its climax with inexorable precision, yet never hits audiences over the head with manufactured emotional moments."   Film Journal International   Chris Barsanti A- "A powerful reminder of how war should never be an option in the resolution of a conflict, even as a last resort"   FilmJerk.com   Edward Havens B "The sincerity and earnestness of 'Innocent Voices' are beyond doubt. It's a pity that the film's execution doesn't always match them. Still, it's a mostly laudable effort."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 4/5 "Puts a face on the anguish of the poor during the civil war in El Salvador during the 1980s when twelve year old boys were drafted and required to become murderers."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3.5/4 "Innocent Voices is an angry movie, and for good reason. Anything less serious would have been a gross injustice. Mandoki has given us a powerful motion picture."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli '3/4' "Director Luis Mandoki helms with a persistently heavy hand rendering the experience emotionally draining but nonetheless haunting."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth C "while [Mandoki's] subject matter is dramatic and heart-breaking, his film is slow and repetitive."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford C+ "...the hit-you-over-the-head scenes of sudden conscriptions, relentless violence and lack of real political stance keeps this from being as good as it should have been."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford B- "Mandoki's most potent film, made with anger and indignation, but his passion is all too often lost in the mix of earnest direction and dramatic familiarity."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 10) of 10 OFCS Rating: 80% Fresh Page   1
