The Act of Killing - Recensies

The disconnect between the perpetrators and their tastes makes The Act Of Killing the funniest documentary ever made about genocide—a dubious honor if there ever was one...

It is a gut-churning film: and a radical dive into history, grabbing the past in a way a conventional documentary would not.

...I guarantee that you’ve never encountered any screen figures as memorably disturbing as these men.

...Joshua Oppenheimer sammenblander surrealisme fra en ond feberdrøm med hyperrealisme fra det frenetiske byrum.

På insisterende vis trækker den én ind i menneskets formørkede sjæl, så det bringer mindelser om Francis Ford Coppolas 'Dommedag nu' og Joseph Conrads 'Mørkets hjerte'.

Den obekväma känslostormen är oundviklig, men på alldeles fantastiskt vis.
