Gloria Goodale

It's the best made-for-TV movie in years. Read full review

Diane Werts

The filmmakers' assurance makes this miniseries play more like bang-up drama than fact-filled documentary. Yet their facts pass informative muster, and emotional validity, too. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Matt Roush

It is intensely serious, and seriously well done. Read full review

Melanie McFarland

One could never call "The Path to 9/11 " poorly filmed and amateurishly acted. Just questionably written. Read full review

Heather Havrilesky

The six-hour film plays like a 9/11 version of "Syriana" or "Traffic," replete with ultra-close-ups and so much shaky, hand-held footage it can feel like being led around the world, half-drunk and half-blind. Read full review

"Path" is the dullest, worst-shot TV movie since ABC's disastrous "Ten Commandments" remake. It substitutes shaky handheld cameras and dumb dialogue for craftsmanship. It could not be more amateurish or poorly constructed unless someone had forgotten to light the sets. Read full review

I don't know how anyone can dismiss the drama or relevance of this film based on blind political allegiances.… Expand
