REVIEWS
"Filmgoers eager to see a movie about heroism in the midst of moral ambiguity, about the superhuman efforts of one man against the engulfing forces of evil, about the competing and sometimes self-destructive dynamics of duty, courage and conscience, are hereby urged -- no ordered to forsake the cartoon fictions of Batman Begins and rush instead to see Shake Hands With the Devil ."
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post"Wrenching. A solidly absorbing documentary. The film is part therapeutic personal exorcism and part passionate humanitarian indictment. [It] uses the lingering trauma of one man as a way of opening on larger questions of global indifference and responsibility."
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star"The deftly shaped film is more than one man's journey. [Mr. Dallaire's] narrative is reinforced with news clips and amateur video from a decade earlier. Those images can make the documentary tough to sit through, but it is also as compelling as its central character, a man haunted by his failed attempt to save all those lives. Moving beyond its devastating subject, the film expands into broader questions of political and personal responsibility."
Caryn James, New York Times"'I wish I could turn back right now,' retired Canadian Lt. Gen. Roméo Dallaire says meaningfully as he looks out the airplane window. 'To me it seems like going back into hell.' By the end of "Shake Hands With the Devil," the compelling, overwhelming documentary record of that journey (which won a deserved audience award at Sundance), no one could fail to understand why."
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times"Think of this as third in a trilogy of films about the 1994 Rwanda genocide. The first two ("Hotel Rwanda" and HBO's "Sometimes in April") were dramatizations of real life. This is the real thing -- a searing documentary. Documentarian Peter Raymont got incredible footage of Gen. Dallaire as he revisited the country in 2004. The tears, anger and words of reflection are unforgettable."
