3/5
"A powerful testimony to the changes that may come when people make an effort to let their voices be heard."  Eye for Film  Amber Wilkinson

B+
"A call to arms of sorts, raising awareness of the land, the people, and the possibility for change, this documentary is not intended to depress, but to ignite passion for all causes great and small."  eFilmCritic.com  Brian Orndorf

2.5/5
"For all the good intentions on show here, Darfur Now is not much of a film."  Filmcritic.com  Chris Barsanti

"If its explanation of Sudan's politics and history is rudimentary, Darfur Now maintains an effectively intense focus on the necessary work to save actual people in Darfur."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

3/5
"An inspiring documentary about six very different courageous and creative activists who are doing what they can to help the suffering people of Darfur."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

"Thoughtful, sobering, hopeful, despairing, inspirational, depressing, and just in time for the holidays comes Darfur Now, a documentary about genocide in the Sudan."  Film.com  Jonathan F. Richards

"[A]s frustratingly overwhelming as the whole thing may seem, what Braun shows us here is that, yes, ordinary people can do extraordinary things..."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

6/10
"Though well-intentioned, Braun's documentary never captures the emotional heart of this enormous tragedy and fails to ignite the passion he so obviously wants us to feel."  www.susangranger.com  Susan Granger

"Click here to see review"  Wolf Entertainment Guide  William Wolf
