Granito Ratings & Reviews
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
The movie is erratically paced, often static and dry, and occasionally dull. But the subject matter keeps you intrigued - barely.
Shockya.com
Brent Simon
A well-meaning but inelegant bore.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
There's a naggingly studied tone to the whole enterprise that makes it feel like history class rather than a complex, urgent reckoning.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
Sloppiness doesn't suit Granito, which should be concise, complicated, and elegant.
rec.arts.movies.reviews
Louis Proyect
A meditative look back at the mass murder of Mayan Indians in Guatemala and the role of the progressive film-maker. Not agit-prop at all despite what mainstream reviewers here say.
Village Voice
Aaron Hillis
Granito becomes both a humanitarian legal thriller and a quest to find justice through cinema.
New York Times
Paul Brunick
"Granito" is less rough-edged than its guerrilla-film predecessor, but it shares a spirit of simplistic revolutionary solidarity.
About.com
Jennifer Merin
Part courtroom drama, part political thriller and part war movie, Granito: How to Nail A Dictator is one of the most compelling. gripping and inspiring documentaries of the year to date.
PopMatters
Chris Barsanti
...delves into the case being built in a Madrid court against two generals charged with perpetrating a genocidal campaign against the Mayan people of Guatemala.
Eye for Film
Amber Wilkinson
The film is at its best in its footage of those who are picking up the fight that their parents began against Montt, these 'granito' - or grains of sand - who hope that by coming together they can make a difference.
Variety
Robert Koehler
As well-intended as it is artless.
The Hollywood Reporter
Stephen Farber
The film tracks the history of the country, but viewers may feel the documentarian inserts herself too much into the story.
