Critic Reviews for 11-09-01: September 11

All Critics (60) | Top Critics (29) | Fresh (46) | Rotten (14)

Unified only by its depressing timidity and a surprising lack of relevance, 11'09"01 is a failure.

Joshua Rothkopf
In These Times
Ken Loach's entry aside, this is a self-indulgent bid to wring arthouse kudos from tragedy.

December 30, 2006 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Empire Magazine
An ungainly, intermittently harrowing omnibus filled with moments of piercing sorrow and rage.

Peter Rainer
New York Magazine/Vulture
You'll get a provocative picture of how a variety of filmmakers reacted to the events of Sept. 11.

An uneven but telling document.

Denver Post
The results are not monumental, but they are a variety of sober responses to the tragedy that help place the event in a global context.

Liam Lacey
Globe and Mail
The film presumably suggests that September 11 was a horrifying event which opened people's eyes to various harsh realities.

The most forceful contribution is by Ken Loach.

Observer (UK)
Seeing September 11 now, five years after its completion, is a reminder not only of the visceral terror from that day, but also of the sense of shared global humanity that flourished briefly in its wake.

Eminently worth seeing, arguing with, and thinking about.

Apr 13, 2009

A unique view on an historical tragedy. Of particular note is Sean Penn's short - very brilliant.

Gonzalez's short is stunning. It is the best part of this collection which has a generally high standard. Well worth investing in
