Camp X-Ray's treatment of its subject verges on the shallow, but benefits greatly from a pair of impressive performances from Kristen Stewart and Peyman Moaadi.

Camp X-Ray raises quite a few fascinating questions about power, sexism, and war, yet fails to explore them in any real depth. More troubling still, it's a character study that does little in the way of character development. November 7, 2014 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

It's invigorated, somewhat, by strong central performances from actors on opposite sides of a locked steel door. November 6, 2014 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Writer-director Peter Sattler... grounds his story in the cold operational detail of Gitmo, showing how the soldiers there administer the legal limbo of indefinite detention and insulate themselves from the cruelty and injustice of what they're doing. November 6, 2014 | Full Review…

On another movie, the high-corn finale might have worked; here, it just feels patently false. October 30, 2014 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Has a great idea behind it - a young female soldier assigned guard duty at Guantanamo Bay forms a kinship with one of the incarcerated Muslims - but first-time writer-director Peter Sattler doesn't go anywhere interesting with that notion. October 24, 2014 | Full Review…

It helps if you think of "Camp X-Ray" and the prison face-off between Stewart and Maadi as a cautionary conversation unfolding more like a theater production than a movie. October 23, 2014 | Full Review…

Notwithstanding good performances, potent imagery and cinematic flair, Camp X-Ray does not cut deep nor surprise. The film stretches some boundaries but breaks none. May 25, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The final 15 minutes betray the first 100, hammering all themes into our skulls. It's an unnecessarily on-the-nose finish to a mostly organic central relationship. June 21, 2016 | Rating: B- | Full Review…

This is an excellent movie. It is a powerful drama set at the Guantanamo Bay prison. It avoids political posturing and gets down the human interaction between guards and prisoners, while avoiding the usual prison clichés. February 26, 2016 | Rating: A | Full Review…

Superbly unsettling. Pointedly highlights how incarceration dehumanizes inmate and guard alike. Kristen Stewart's steeliness is perfectly suited to its ironies. January 19, 2016 | Full Review…

Writer-director Sattler keeps the drama small and intimate, between two people, focusing on the minutiae of daily life inside the prison and letting us draw the moral implications. June 25, 2015 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…
