Taxi to the Dark Side Reviews
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Taxi to the Dark Side is a stunning indictment of torture as policy, a brilliant documentary whose arguments are so well-supported and reasonably made that you can't ignore them.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
So disturbing, on so many levels, that it's hard to know where to begin.
San Francisco Chronicle
Tamara Straus
Will go down in film history as a damning historical document of the Bush administration's wartime expansion of executive powers.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
Exhaustively researched and shattering documentary by Alex Gibney.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
One of the most powerful, carefully researched investigations of the moral-legal side effects of current American military campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Chicago Tribune
Tasha Robinson
The most extraordinary thing about the grim Best Documentary Academy Award nominee Taxi to the Dark Side is how straightforward its interviewees are about the military prisoner they collectively murdered in Afghanistan in 2002.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
By the time it's over, [director Gibney has] broadened his focus into a documentary so damning of the U.S. government, it's hard to believe he even got it made.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Horrifying.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Impossible to shake off.
New York Times
Caryn James
Gracefully weaving together interviews (some with the soldiers convicted of the beating), fresh images and official photographs, it suggests why so many politically themed fiction films have failed.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Like the Iraq war documentary No End in Sight, this movie about the U.S. military's systematic torture of terror suspects is a triumph not of reporting but of synthesis.
NPR.org
Bob Mondello
Certain to inspire both outrage and sorrow, Alex Gibney's harrowing documentary -- about the torture and abuse of suspected terrorists in U.S. military prisons -- ranks among recent cinema's more excoriating moral indictments.
New Yorker
David Denby
Along with No End in Sight, this movie is one of the essential documentaries of the ongoing war.
Film.com
Jonathan F. Richards
Taxi to the Dark Side joins a growing list of outspoken documentaries that question the rationale and conduct of America's presence in Iraq and Afghanistan, and our willingness to destroy freedom in order to save it.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Taxi to the Dark Side adds something new to our awareness -- interviews with soldiers who served as interrogators in Afghanistan, and in Iraq's notorious Abu Ghraib prison, and who, in some cases, served prison terms themselves.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
Gibney assembles a formidable arsenal of talking heads to testify.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
A meticulous examination...Taxi is impressive.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
The usefully horrifying documentary Taxi to the Dark Side follows a map that leads to the notorious prison abuses in Iraq's Abu Ghraib to policies in the Guantánamo Bay detention camp.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
If recent American history is ever going to be discussed with the necessary clarity and ethical rigor, Taxi to the Dark Side will be essential.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
I hope that every concerned moviegoer sees this film, but I doubt that many will.
