Reviews for No End in Sight
No End in Sight offers an emphatic, well-supported answer to a question that has already begun to be mooted on television talk shows: Who lost Iraq?.
07/27/07
Top CriticA systematic and rigorous history of the Iraq war to date.
02/03/07
Top Critic[W]e need ... a multi-volume/reel history [of] the unprecedented stupidity and mendacity of the Bush administration, and Charles Ferguson's infuriating documentary could be volume one.
08/01/07
No End is Sight is the product of a calmly systematic desire for knowledge, and as such, does not offer solutions, only profound insight.
05/18/08
Want to kick start a drinking problem? Just give No End in Sight a look, and you're assured a cold, dark night ingesting anything nearby that will sooth the post-viewing depression.
07/27/07
Lucid, concise and devastating.
08/09/07
Top Criticwill have you alternately slapping your forehead in stunned disbelief and shaking your head in disgust.
07/31/07
No End in Sight will leave you floored, agape and enraged anew.
08/10/07
Top CriticOrganized, concise and plain as day, "No End In Sight" is necessary viewing for audiences the world over.
07/30/07
Even dedicated news junkies will gain new understanding of a campaign with no end in sight.
08/23/07
A clear-eyed appraisal and condemnation of Bush administration war policies as seen through the eyes of people in a position to note the disastrous choices that left a country in chaos.
09/07/07
You know the Iraq war is going badly. What you may not know is how it also started badly.
08/16/07
Should be required viewing for anyone who thinks the Iraq war is progressing according to plan.
07/13/07
We need to hear the story again and again, for no amount of rage and disbelief can turn what the Bush Administration did into someone else’s problem.
07/30/07
Top CriticSoberly narrated by Campbell Scott, the film is a meticulous, thoroughly engrossing lesson in how not to win friends (or wars) and influence people (or potential terrorists).
07/23/07
Top CriticAs one of the interviewees put it succinctly, there is no light at the end of the tunnel.
08/18/07
No End in Sight, the latest Iraq documentary, is the first to attempt a detailed historical overview and probably the only one with the potential to reach across partisan lines, a true rarity in the sphere of political filmmaking.
08/02/07
Top CriticIt's a film that only begins to take baby steps in telling what went wrong and how insane it is to stick with such a bad war policy.
09/22/07
Charles Ferguson holds this fact to be self-evident: that the chaos in Iraq is the direct result of a handful of bad policy decisions made very early in the war.
