Standard Operating Procedure Ratings & Reviews
Film Comment Magazine
Michael Chaiken
The film's bloody dramatizations...suggest a fundamental distrust of the efficacy of the word over the image and a bland assumption that audiences have lost their ability to empathize.
Film.com
Jonathan F. Richards
Morris offers valuable new perspectives on Abu Ghraib, but the paying customers may not care to go there again.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Truth is a matter of perspective in director Errol Morris' Standard Operating Procedure, a piercing look at the abuses at Abu Ghraib prison and the aftermath of their discovery.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
[Director] Morris examines the atrocity of Abu Ghraib and the notorious photographs which have come to signify all the tortured secrets contained within that Iraqi prison's walls.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
The result is a devastating film, and an important one.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Probes deeper than any other Iraq war documentary.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Standard Operating Procedure encourages us not to judge but to try to understand. Or, barring that impossibility, it prods us like the finest documentaries to watch and listen.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Morris marshals the witnesses, demonstrates that photographs are unreliable evidence, and leaves a verdict to the audience.
Seattle Times
Jeff Shannon
Morris explores the reality of Abu Ghraib with a visceral intensity that straightforward reportage could never allow.
I.E. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
What's epic in Morris' still and haunting assembly of talking heads is an indictment of photography, and by extension, history.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Morris widens our understanding of the real crimes that took place there. This is where the movie becomes not just a slant on history but also a vehicle for broadening our understanding.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
Sometimes painful to watch, but a movie that must be seen.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Focus is really the heart of Morris' unsettling film, which strikes a remarkable balance between art and disturbance, between beauty and pain.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
This film by the masterful Errol Morris gets closer to the actual events than any of them, with probing interviews of soldiers who were involved and careful scrutiny of the hundreds of photographs retrieved from three digital cameras at the prison.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Completely unlike anything I was expecting from such a film -- more disturbing, analytical and morose.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
The movie's a staggering work that traces the rotten blossom of this scandal close to its roots.
The Deadbolt
Brian Tallerico
Even with an amazing filmmaker like Morris, it's impossible to yet fully focus the photos from Abu Ghraib and truly know what happened, who was right, who was wrong, and when it will happen again.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
A misjudged degree of cinematic dazzle obscures the outrages at the core of Standard Operating Procedure, director Errol Morris' first documentary since The Fog of War, and the first Iraq documentary to focus on the infamous Abu Ghraib photo
Slate
Dana Stevens
Indisputably an impressive piece of documentary filmmaking. Whether that makes it a great document about what actually happened at Abu Ghraib is a separate question, and one that goes to the heart of Morris' project as a filmmaker.
