The Missing Picture Ratings & Reviews
Film Comment Magazine
Jonathan Romney
Rithy Panh's cinema is an exemplary case of the imperative to bear witness.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Many films have examined from many vantages the Khmer Rouge's nightmare reign, notably Roland Joff's 1985 Oscar winner The Killing Fields.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
As haunting as it is haunted, "The Missing Picture" leaves viewers' heads rattling with ghosts.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
A uniquely subjective account of the Cambodian genocide of the 1970s, "The Missing Picture" is the work of Rithy Panh, a Cambodian native who left his homeland when he was an adolescent.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
[It] aspires to a poetry about barbarism that will not let us forget.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
The film captures how Pol Pot took Mao's Great Leap Forward to new levels of Marxist madness.
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
Panh uses the props and eerie clips from Khmer Rouge propaganda newsreels to tell about his family, and his country. Along with starkly poetic narration, read by Randal Douc, the effect is devastating, without a single scene of actual bloodshed.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
These miniatures magnify their subjects, and ennoble them. The picture is anguishing to see, but it isn't missing anymore.
New York Daily News
Jordan Hoffman
Panh believes that those who survive such oppression are obligated to speak about it - and this chronicle is impossible not to watch.
James on screenS
Caryn James
A survivor's story,a political statement and an eloquent meditation on images and memory. The miniatures and the film are exquisite works of art infused with living memory
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
This is a first-person account of astonishing suffering, yet the experience of watching "The Missing Picture" is not punishing.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
Panh blends documentary, personal memoir and eccentric artistic experiment ...
RogerEbert.com
Christy Lemire
As an examination of memory and experience and how they shape us, "The Missing Picture" is meaningful beyond its specific subject matter.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
The audacity of "The Missing Picture" - a brilliant documentary about a child who held on to life in Cambodia's killing fields - is equaled only by its soulfulness.
Village Voice
Stephanie Zacharek
The Missing Picture is so immediate, so vital, it practically breathes. Not all memoirs need to exist. But the gentle urgency of Panh's story is right there in the filmmaking.
The Dissolve
Scott Tobias
The Missing Picture isn't a straightforward piece of storytelling, but more of a meditation on what happened [...] whenever the narration threatens to drift off into the ether, the figurines and models ultimately keep it on terra firma.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Panh honors the Khmer Rouge's victims while staging the agony and responsibility of memory itself.
AV Club
A.A. Dowd
With sober eloquence, the filmmaker lays out the arrival of the Khmer Rouge, the philosophy used to justify their crimes, and the slow slipping away of his family, each member claimed by this horrible social experiment.
The Playlist
Jessica Kiang
Mainly, though, what the film elicits is horror, all the more pointed for existing in the juxtaposition of these childlike representations and the actual events they stand for.
Paste Magazine
Tim Grierson
The task of chronicling the unimaginable is handled with great care in The Missing Picture, an affecting documentary about the brutality of Cambodian strongman Pol Pot's reign.
