Kelley L. Carter

This is the kind of film that doesn’t end after the credits roll, and it’s a gold-star example for what a documentary should do: inspire. Read full review

William Arnold

The kind of movie you're glad somebody had the guts to make, but you don't really want to endure. Read full review

Roger Ebert

It is not a compelling documentary (too much exposition, not enough on-the-spot reality), but it is instructive and disturbing. Read full review

Ann Hornaday

See Darfur Now, and you won't read the daily news the same way again. Read full review

Kenneth Turan

Attempts to both explain the situation to audiences and offer some reason to hope for the future. It's an almost impossible task, and though the film does better than anyone might expect, its success is not complete. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

The film gets a little ''We can fix this!'' inspirational for a chronicle of such staggering darkness. Read full review

Toddy Burton

For all the film’s rallying efforts, its meandering structure and absence of a central driving character results in a film about genocide that is, as unbelievable as it sounds, kind of boring. Read full review
