A stylistically bold, humanist take on the difficulties of post-invasion Iraq.

The film is both gritty and lyrical, showing how tanks share the Baghdad streets with donkeys as well as the quiet beauty of the Kurdish countryside. Mar 8, 2007 | Rating: B

Because [director] Longley uses a technique that forgoes interviews and voiceover commentary in favour of observation and revealing juxtapositions, his movie puts you both in the chaos and just above it. Feb 24, 2007 | Rating: 3.5/4

Stands up as a classic war documentary, in its unusual poetic form and by its extraordinary access to the lives of ordinary Iraqis. Feb 23, 2007 | Rating: 3.5/4

Iraq in Fragments sometimes feels random, but it is a well-crafted, thoughtful study of the dueling divisiveness and hope that will define the region long after foreign troops leave. Feb 23, 2007 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

James Longley's devastating documentary Iraq in Fragments has neither narration nor obvious political ax to grind, but it manages to tell us something about Iraq that we aren't getting or can't get from standard news coverage. Feb 22, 2007 | Rating: 4/5

By turns tender and shocking, Iraq in Fragments strikes a rare balance between impromptu fluidity and feature-film narrative control, in the process resisting both partisanship and predigested points of view. Feb 17, 2007 | Rating: 5/6 | Full Review…

Visually, the director's flair is impressive. But Longley's clear intention of using children's faces to better tug at our heartstrings would be more admirable if it didn't feel as shamelessly staged. Mar 6, 2008

Too bad James Longley couldn't have broadcast this insightful documentary immediately after he shot it in 2003 and 2004. Apr 6, 2007 | Rating: 3/4

Bafflingly, the threats in an occupied country consistently come from within, not without or overhead: what has the effect of the US occupation and Hussein's vicious rule been on these people? Offers a fragmented, obscuring picture of Iraq. Apr 1, 2007

Iraq in Fragments ... appears to be asking a simple, but often unmentioned, question: Oh yeah, what about the people of Iraq? Mar 30, 2007 | Rating: 3/4
