Meeting with Pol Pot Ratings & Reviews
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
Power shields its misdeeds with propaganda, but Panh sees such murderous lies clearly, giving them an honest staging, thick with echoes.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Panh combines sharply observed action with archival footage and diorama-like re-creations -- complete with clay figurines -- of horrors that went undepicted.
Spectrum Culture
Ria Dhull
Panh is a strong documentarian, and many of his methods work well in his latest fictional film, Meeting with Pol Pot; however, he is still much better with fact than fiction.
LA Weekly/Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
Meeting with Pol Pot is an ellipsis of a movie, purposefully so...
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
Panh powerfully interweaves real footage of starvation and mass death - sometimes projecting it behind the characters or matching it to Paul's eyeline.
InSession Film
Dave Giannini
There are no easy answers. Not to why terrible things happen. Not for what is the correct form of government. But once again, there are lines.
Slant Magazine
Chris Barsanti
Rithy Panh's film is hard-hitting yet illusive, much like the story its characters are hunting.
The Contending
Frank J. Avella
The first 30 minutes of Rithy Panh's otherwise compelling film, Meeting With Pol Pot, is rather dull but it builds in intensity, with the keen use of actual footage shot in 1978.
Movies We Texted About
Sarah Manvel
More than anything this is an appreciation of those people who went as close to the killing fields as they could, and a reminder that this kind of professional bravery remains an important and valuable skill to tell the truth and shame the devil.
Variety
Siddhant Adlakha
A chilling historical drama rendered with impeccable sleight of hand, Rithy Panh's "Rendez-vous avec Pol Pot" ("Meeting With Pol Pot") reveals its political dimensions through layers of obfuscation.
Next Best Picture
Philip Bagnall
If "Meeting With Pol Pot" doesn't quite have the urgency or sense of tragedy of Panh's best work, it does fulfill its basic remit of conveying the terrors at work behind the public image.
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Joe Utichi
Rendez-vous avec Pol Pot may not walk totally fresh ground for Panh, but there is real power in one filmmaker's dedication to re-examining real world horror from many angles over many years.
