Boys of Abu Ghraib Reviews
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
It's a shame the picture ends on its knees when it had to the potential to create a certain viewpoint that could invite an understanding of the Abu Ghraib prison environment and the stress placed on all involved parties.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
"Boys of Abu Ghraib" has a few, brief insights into how boredom, anger, and frustration helped fuel the rage that led to torture but the film couches it all in the filmmaking of TV-movie melodrama, draining it of all potential power or social context.
The Dissolve
Andrew Lapin
For a film about the hardened soldiers who oversaw the most notorious detainment center of the Iraq War, Boys Of Abu Ghraib is remarkably squeamish about tackling its subject matter head-on.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
What made these soldiers participate in such deplorable activities? Boys of Abu Ghraib attempts to answer that question. The explanations it comes up with may not be definitive, but they certainly make for a powerful, hard-hitting drama.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
Boys of Abu Ghraib is a credible depiction of the tedium, frustration and humiliation of wartime service.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
Writer-director-star Luke Moran's drama about Abu Ghraib is an ambitious if not particularly revealing debut.
Village Voice
Michael Nordine
A halfhearted attempt at truly getting inside these men's and women's heads to make sense of their actions, which is ostensibly the purpose of dramatizing such a recent and shameful ordeal.
Los Angeles Times
Martin Tsai
The film hardly scratches Abu Ghraib's surface.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Its tendency to water down the realities of Abu Ghraib trivializes its subject instead of providing depth or context.
Film Journal International
Maitland McDonagh
Moran's writing and directing debut is an admirably ambitious examination of the one-baby-step-at-a-time process that leads a fundamentally decent person to shut down his moral compass do things that are, by any objective standard, reprehensible.
