"Meeting Resistance argues that the failure of the war was set in its early days, when Iraqis felt alternately abandoned and threatened by Americans, and soon after, occupied."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

B+
"A chilling rare glimpse of the U.S. Iraqi occupation from the side of the insurgents."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

2.5/4
"As in Land Without Bread and The Bridge, Meeting Resistance raises all sorts of ethical questions about its making."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

3/5
"An eye-opening documentary that reveals the diversity and zeal of the resistance movement in Iraq to the U.S. occupation of their homeland."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

3/5
"It offers no judgment, nor does it proffer a solution, but this slow-paced and vivid glimpse behind the veil is an achievement and an education."  Cinerina  Karina Montgomery

2.5/5
"Filmed during the first year of the U.S. occupation of Iraq, Meeting Resistance suffers from the same problem as the Iraq-set feature film The Situation %u2013 timeliness."  Film-Forward.com  Kent Turner

C+
"This documentary does one thing and does it well. It provides first person interviews with people who were attacking U.S. military forces in Iraq in 2003."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten
