This is chilling stuff, worthy of the most cunning of fictional thrillers but all too horrifyingly real... Full Review |

Basically preaching to the choir, of course. But that doesn't mean that the sermon isn't one that needs to be heard. Full Review |

You have to question any movie that feels compelled to spend the last 5 minutes justifying itself as each expert explains why it was their patriotic duty to make this movie. Full Review |

Made up of almost nothing but talking heads, and no matter how cogent their statements, it makes for a pretty static movie that's unlikely to engage anyone opposed to its point of view. Full Review |

It should also be required viewing for thoughtful hawks; Greenwald’s restrained approach won’t insult their intelligence, and will give them plenty to chew over. Full Review |

This feature actually is better suited as an episode of PBS’ Frontline than as a theatrical release. Full Review |

|
3.5/5 |
Despite its slant, the movie offers some illuminating details, and director Robert Greenwald constructs a solid argument that the Iraq war was driven more by expedient politics than facts. Full Review |

Unrolls like an American tragedy...If you thought Fahrenheit 9/11 burned the Bush administration, Uncovered pours gasoline on the flames. Full Review |

Director Greenwald backs up his claim that the media acted like Bush administration lap dogs in covering the lead-up to a bogus war. Full Review |

Uncovered: The War on Iraq is like a trial lawyer's summation during a lengthy case in which allegations are familiar but their full context is not. Full Review |

Any person voting in this year's presidential election owes it to America's future to see this film. Full Review |

3/4 |
Uncovered has no interest in explaining the Bush administration's case for war for them: This is the prosecution's argument, and it is extremely well-made. Full Review |

|
3/4 |
This documentary makes an effective argument that isn't likely to spur much debate, despite the efforts of the filmmakers to do just that. Full Review |
