Shake Hands with the Devil Ratings & Reviews
New York Times
Stephen Holden
The best that can be said of the film is that it is an honorable dud.
Village Voice
Ernest Hardy
Though the film, based on Dallaire's memoir, can veer toward deification of the general, it's hugely effective in illustrating the grotesque power plays that led to the deaths of more than 800,000 Tutsis.
Slant Magazine
Joseph Jon Lanthier
What ultimately characterizes Shake Hands with the Devil is its cumbersome sense of contrition, but the film seems only foggily aware of what its apologizing for.
Variety
Scott Foundas
[Director] Spottiswoode's lackluster film fails to offer any fresh perspective on these now well-known events.
Apollo Guide
Brian Webster
Beautifully filmed, brutally frank, and forceful in its political message - in support of active peacekeeping - this is a powerful film that's not to be missed.
The Hollywood Reporter
Michael Rechtshaffen
Despite being filmed in many of those actual Rwandan locations, Shake Hands with the Devil is frustratingly distancing.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...suffers from a vibe of familiarity that ultimately prevents it from making any kind of a real impact.
