Omagh might have been conceived for television, it nevertheless offers a provocative and well-produced night out at the cinema.

... a good picture that's at its best when dramatizing the very violence it condemns.

... an important film.

Paul Greengrass, who previous wrote and directed Bloody Sunday, co-wrote this, and once again he shines a light on the victims of the region's seemingly endless strife.

"Omagh" is an example of how cinematic drama must be made today in order to be effective and relevant: with honesty and heart. Brilliant.

... unnervingly evokes both the panic and the confusion of a world suddenly ripped inside out.
03/10/06
As propaganda on behalf of the Omagh victims the film does its work well, but in the end both the personal story and the collective one seem unsatisfactory.
11/25/05
Serves as a companion piece to writer-producer Paul Greengrass' superb 2001 pic Bloody Sunday, but emerges as a startlingly powerful achievement in its own right.
