(1 - 20) of 20 OFCS Rating: 85% Fresh Page   1   3/5 "Morris has certainly achieved a gloss ... but at a cost to the factual content."   Eye for Film   Amber Wilkinson 4/5 "In some ways, Standard Operating Procedure is too appalling to appreciate. It's like watching the Nuremberg Trials, Nazis purposefully passing the buck higher and higher up, fully aware that no one above a certain rank is around to take the blame."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron 3.5/4 "Morris's signature touches can occasionally seem studied to the point of annoyance but the cumulative power of his busy, artsy style generally enhances the horror, making it no more palatable than necessary."   Slant Magazine   Bill Weber 3.5/5 "Engrossing if inexcusably flashy"   Filmcritic.com   Chris Cabin A+ "With his trademark use of slow-motion images and direct-to-camera interviews, Errol Morris spells out the extent of one of the biggest cover-ups in modern U.S. history."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "Errol Morris' smart new documentary remembers the Abu Ghraib pictures' effects -- the shock, the outrage, and the anger that greeted their release."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 4/5 "Since most mainstream documentaries take a clearly leftist view of things, I liked the fact Morris wasn’t trying to cram his opinion down our throats."   Film Threat   Don R. Lewis B+ "Errol Morris is the best documentary filmmaker currently working, maybe the best ever."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B "Coolly intense...If the film is only partially successful...the goal remains important, and Morris' commitment to it is laudable."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek B "Much of the information Morris supplies is new, but he squanders the opportunity to make it illuminating."   Cinepinion   Henry Stewart 8/10 "Examines both the mystery of primitive human instincts and the nature and power of photography."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen A "tears through the facade"   Old School Reviews   John A. Nesbit "Morris offers valuable new perspectives on Abu Ghraib, but the paying customers may not care to go there again."   Film.com   Jonathan F. Richards B+ "Errol Morris set out to demonstrate that the picture doesn't necessarily tell the story..."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 2/4 "Non-essential Morris. Pick any other documentary to find more interesting and colorful subjects."   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes B- "A semiotics-tinged investigation into the nature of images themselves: how the contents, arrangement, and manipulation of the frame all affect interpretation and help define meaning."   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager 4/5 "[A film] that is likely to outrage and provoke anyone who comes into contact with it."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski "By returning to the pictures over and over again, Morris shows the power of the photos, how the visual record became the only evidence that carried any power in the media..."   Seanax.com   Sean Axmaker 5/10 "Reduces one of the truly horrifying controversies in American military history to an intellectual puzzle."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 20) of 20 OFCS Rating: 85% Fresh Page   1
