"A compelling portrait of an extraordinarily complex
personal odyssey, a film that explores both the power and the
limitations of faith and forgiveness."
- Kenneth Turan, THE LOS ANGELES TIMES
"The more time filmmakers Daniele Anastasion and Eric
Strauss spend with the former monster on his missions of mercy, the
more complex such notions of postgenocide forgiveness and letting go of
the past become."
- TIME OUT NEW YORK
"This amazing docu confronts the contradictions of reconciliation in a war-ravaged continent."
- Ronnie Schieb, VARIETY
"Staggeringly cinematic."
- David D'Arcy, SCREEN INTERNATIONAL
"An intriguing, bizarre, horrifying and thought-provoking doc -- Utterly
fascinating with a charismatic central figure -- love him or loathe him -
- who is made for the big screen ... this is an extremely unsettling film
that holds you tightly in its grip for its almost too short running time."
-- Kirk Honeycutt, THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
"Sometimes, a documentarian finds a subject so compelling that the
best course of action is simply to turn on the camera and hang on
for the ride... Blahyi is a charismatic speaker, and the film captures
that perfectly -- as well as the way he has bared his soul in his effort
to atone for years of murder."
- Sean Means, THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE
"Blahyi's multiple reconciliations are inherently moving, capturing
numerous complex layers of emotions that no actor could possibly
convey."
- Eric Kohn, INDIEWIRE
