Jirga Ratings & Reviews
World Socialist Web Site
Joanne Laurier
Despite interesting shots of Afghanistan, Jirga is a hopeless, moralistic tale...
Phoenix Magazine
M.V. Moorhead
This cinema verité drama, shot guerrilla-style in Afghanistan by director Benjamin Gilmour and star Smith, with a supporting cast of Afghans recruited on location, is a bit of a marvel.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
Its overall message ... is important, although the steps it takes to get there are sometimes questionable -- especially during one lengthy passage.
AwardsCircuit.com
Shane Slater
Expressed through raw performances ... the film's philosophical underpinnings ultimately strike a chord.
Los Angeles Times
Carlos Aguilar
A remarkable truthfulness shepherds Benjamin Gilmour's tightly written and conscientiously produced drama "Jirga" as it renders an image of Afghanistan not as a ravaged battleground but as an arrestingly rich land.
Spectrum Culture
Dominic Griffin
Benjamin Gilmour's experimental film Jirga breaks that cycle, exploring the grief of the soldier within the context of the foreign land in which he fought.
Film Threat
Adam Keller
Gilmour's hypnotic landscape shots hammer home the vastness, beauty, and cruelty of nature.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A restrained and contemplative modern-day morality tale.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
This movie is undeniably a remarkable achievement. You wish it had just a little more dramatic heft.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A powerful story of a soldier seeking to make amends who turns his enemies into friends.
Variety
Eddie Cockrell
Unfortunately cryptic but nonetheless fascinating...
Film Inquiry
Alex Lines
It might not be as polished or meticulous as its contemporaries, but its motives, and the audacious effort to bring them to life, should be congratulated - the eventual DVD release is going to have one hell of a behind-the-scenes featurette.
The Hollywood Reporter
Harry Windsor
The filmmaking could most charitably be described as artless, with a medley of shaky thousand-pixel close-ups providing a sense of detail that doesn't quite extend to the script.
