6/10
"Burma VJ articulates a circular, daunting, and inevitable logic: visibility = life."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

4/5
"An incredibly moving documentary about the courage of an underground group of video journalists who bring to the world images of the 2007 protests in Burma"  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

"In traditional terms, this is hardly a film at all. It's more like a bootlegged YouTube video."  Film.com  Jonathan F. Richards

A
"This trenchant piece of work might sound on the surface like watching a CNN broadcast in a movie theater, but Østergaard has formed his film like a political thriller...astonishing and moving."  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

4/5
"Watching these scenes, which the leaders want to hide from the world, is pretty horrific. And the bravery of these young journalists is seriously inspirational"  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

A-
"Do not expect slick filmmaking in this somber, sobering documentary, but this is not the film's raison d'etre. Bringing the story to worldwide light is and I hope it works."  Reeling Reviews  Robin Clifford
