Taxi to the Dark Side Ratings & Reviews
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.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Impossible to shake off.
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.
The 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.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
So disturbing, on so many levels, that it's hard to know where to begin.
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.
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Will go down in film history as a damning historical document of the Bush administration's wartime expansion of executive powers.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.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Horrifying.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
A meticulous examination...Taxi is impressive.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
Gibney assembles a formidable arsenal of talking heads to testify.
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.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
I hope that every concerned moviegoer sees this film, but I doubt that many will.
Village Voice
Nick Pinkerton
Without cheapening the suffering of American or Afghan, the film retrieves the torture issue from the realm of the abstract and gives the plain facts of this world right now. As long as we still care about people and power, they will matter.
