This is Congo Ratings & Reviews
College Movie Review
Kip Mooney
Director Daniel McCabe gives a wide variety of Congolese time to share their stories, all of which are miserable.
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
This is Congo paints a rich, and often brutal, picture of a country doomed to failure and repetition.
The Playlist
Gary Garrison
It's a stark and unsettling truth that "This Is Congo" manages to flesh out thoroughly enough to make up for its flaws elsewhere.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
A haunting window into a deeply anarchic world too-rarely glimpsed.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
There is much to admire here, but the sheer scope of the subject matter might be even better served by the capaciousness of a mini-series.
Film Journal International
Chris Barsanti
This epic, tragically devastating documentary not only puts human faces on Congo's seemingly endless cycle of corruption and violence but investigates what lies behind it.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
It's harrowing footage, raw and intimate; its opposite is the jubilant bustle of the liberated city, of a people ecstatic that, for a while, their normal will be less deadly.
Hammer to Nail
Christopher Llewellyn Reed
Brilliant and tragic, This Is Congo will break your heart.
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
Captures a moment of time and an entire history simultaneously. To understand the hypocrisy involved, McCabe takes us back into the past to understand how things got so bad.
The Playlist
Andy Crump
It's not every day that a documentary shakes the ground as surely as the average blockbuster, or keeps us on the edge of our seat like a good thriller.
Variety
Guy Lodge
There's a lot of ravaged ground to cover here, and editor Alyse Ardell Spiegel does well to compress these differing, sometimes opposing, perspectives into an efficient encapsulation that won't bewilder viewers unfamiliar with the Congolese crisis.
The Hollywood Reporter
Boyd van Hoeij
A war documentary without a clear target audience.
