This movie doesn't know if it's a socially conscious flick about feeding starving kids or a steamy romantic drama about two pretty people who like to make out in tents.

Consensus: Beyond Borders is good-intentioned, but the use of human suffering as a backdrop for a romance comes across as sanctimonious and exploitative.

An ambitious and moving film.

Never have we been forced to watch so many suffer needlessly for the sake of so few. And that’s what makes this film reprehensible.

Hopelessly kooky.

Ambitious and morally complex, yet ultimately shallow. As a result, it falls short of pleasing lovers of serious cinema, while also alienating the happily-ever-after crowd.

Beyond Borders is one of those rare big-budget films that has something of vital importance to say about the real world, and pulls no punches saying it.
10/28/03
A passionate, if tragic, social-issue film.

The picture holds up starving babies to score cheap emotional points, but it never bothers to look beyond the swollen bellies and swarming flies.

Top CriticBeyond Borders is a film with its heart in the right place. Unfortunately, its head is stuck so far in the clouds that it dissolves into preachy do-gooder mush.

Skip Beyond Borders and write a check to the Red Cross or Doctors Without Borders.

Beyond Borders devotes more time to one person's nobility (Angelina Jolie's) than to a world of suffering, and the result is offensive.
10/24/03
A far-fetched romantic adventure.
10/24/03
The formula that gave life to such poignant and powerful films as The Killing Fields and The Year of Living Dangerously this time results in something closer to parody.
