Berends's documentary works for the most part because it has a fresh point of view and worthwhile things to say about the individual value of overlooked masses in a war zone.

1 - 9 (sorted by date)
Top CriticImparts a you-are-there atmosphere that's increasingly scarce as Western journalists retreat.
07/07/06
Top CriticA film that's by turns touching, infuriating, heartbreaking and confusing -- much like the war itself. And unlike much of what we've seen before.
06/30/06
Top CriticDespite some remarkable unembedded footage, Andrew Berends' is yet another disappointingly superficial, unfocused and one-sided documentary on the conflict in Iraq.
06/30/06
Top CriticIt makes you rue the most indelicate of all combat euphemisms -- 'collateral damage.'
06/30/06
Top CriticFrom the filmmaker Andrew Berends comes another documentary about the occupation of Iraq, but this time the story is told from the Iraqi point of view.
06/29/06
Top CriticThe subtitle, A Story of Death in Iraq, concisely captures its core subject: the brute facts of grief, suffering, and death in wartime.
06/27/06
Top CriticMade with access to the Mehdi Army and embittered citizens the Western news media -- or even the CIA -- might envy, producer-helmer-lenser Andrew Berends creates a revealing insight into the war in Iraq from the locals' POV.
06/08/06
Top CriticBlood contains enough startling and provocative footage to more than justify its theatrical exposure.
