Ben Sachs
Chicago Reader
A terrifying, ultimately moving portrait of the effects of war, both physical and psychic.

Ann Hornaday
Washington Post
Both Sharif and Ahmed make sure audiences leave Nowhere to Hide well aware that Iraq remains a war zone - one where innocent people remain caught in the crossfire.

Craig D. Lindsey
Village Voice
An immersive, compact and unpolished documentary ...

Brad Wheeler
Globe and Mail
An immersive look at life in Iraq after the U.S. pulled out, Zaradasht Ahmed's Nowhere To Hide doesn't debate politics or explain the country's state of affairs. The film is far too deep in the rubble and daily grind.

Radheyan Simonpillai
NOW Toronto
An emotionally powerful examination of the price of conflict, Sharif is honourable and brave, both as filmmaker and the symbol of a suffering people who long for peace.

Linda Barnard
Toronto Star
The sense of Iraq as one big rubble heap may be familiar from the American media; Nori's ability to depict it from the inside is something new.

Steve Erickson

Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
This film is a telling slice of life, of people trapped in dangerous, chaotic warfare, is a unique collaboration between director Zaradasht Ahmed and Nori Sharif. Nori becomes hardened and desperate, but never loses his humanity, nor his hope.

Inside view of the war in Iraq is revealing eye-opener for Americans who turned away when the U.S. pulled out in late 2011...five vividly chronicled years...a powerful diary.
