Reviews for No End in Sight
First-time writer-producer director Charles Ferguson is a noted think-tank scholar who is less interested in casting partisan blame than figuring out just exactly how such a colossal debacle came about.
08/09/07
A blistering, on-point expose of the movers and shakers who paved our way into a senseless conflict.
08/14/07
will have you alternately slapping your forehead in stunned disbelief and shaking your head in disgust.
07/31/07
The film is not anti-war but anti-arrogance and anti-idiocy.
08/24/07
The movie's larger points are sobering and relevant, no matter how many times they've already been made.
09/13/07
It doesn't matter if you're a news junkie or clueless about current events, you need to see this movie.
06/24/08
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
You really should see this movie, even though it will make you sick.
10/05/07
Absorbing documentary that dissects the mind-numbing incompetence that has defined this White House.
09/12/07
...the saddest, scariest horror movie I've seen in years.
08/14/07
For anyone who's wondering why we're still stuck in Iraq, give this quick 100-minuter a whirl and get filled in.
11/25/07
This is the Iraq War documentary that covers all bases...Just listen to the silence of those who refuted Fahrenheit 911.
08/13/07
Even dedicated news junkies will gain new understanding of a campaign with no end in sight.
08/23/07
Top CriticWe 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 CriticIf you want take the leap from disbelief and confusion to a clearer, empowering understanding of how we arrived at our current predicament, then political scientist Charles Ferguson's documentary No End In Sight is highly recommended.
07/23/07
Ferguson's debut doc is a brilliant piece of investigative journalism.
07/26/07
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.
09/07/07
Should be required viewing for anyone who thinks the Iraq war is progressing according to plan.
07/13/07
Remember the scene in A Clockwork Orange where Alex has his eyes clamped open and is forced to watch a movie? I imagine a similar experience for the architects of our catastrophe in Iraq. I would like them to see No End in Sight.
