Critic Reviews of "City of Ghosts"
St. Louis Post-DispatchAugust 03, 2017This film will give you a new appreciation for the freedoms that are often taken for granted in a democracy.
Arizona RepublicJuly 27, 2017"City of Ghosts" isn't merely about the personal sacrifices of these men, but a testament to the necessity of a free and open press the world over.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.comJuly 26, 2017Heineman powerfully captures the agonizing sense of displacement these men must feel. Gaunt, lanky, chain-smoking RBSS founder Aziz is an emotionally wounded, haunted figure. The "ghosts" in the title doesn't just apply to those killed in Raqqa.
Chicago ReaderJuly 20, 2017Matthew Heineman gets up close and personal with some of the RBSS members, who live with the daily threat of violent retribution and in some scenes comment from the cloistered security of German or Turkish safe houses.
NonficsAugust 31, 2017In another war zone, Matthew Heineman exchanges nihilism for hope, sentiment and journalists.
KDHX (St. Louis)August 29, 2017"City of Ghosts" adds a powerful immediacy to the Syrian catastrophe.
Denerstein UnleashedAugust 28, 2017I'm not sure whether City of Ghosts deserves to be called a great film, but it definitely should be seen. At a minimum, we owe the people of Raqqa our pledge not to look away from their suffering.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA)August 22, 2017Rare, humanizing glimpses into the kind of Syrian war stories that aren't typically heard.
Irish TimesAugust 15, 2017There are the makings of a gripping story in these elements. But somehow City of Ghosts never quite comes together.
Salt Lake TribuneAugust 03, 2017Heroes get their moment in Matthew Heineman's absorbing documentary.
