Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The guerrilla-movie-making ethic of the directors is reflected in the band members, who sport goatees and speak excellent, hipster/metalhead-inflected American English.

The low-budget movie's technical qualities aren't always the best, but considering the conditions under which the filmmakers worked, it's amazing that Heavy Metal in Baghdad was made at all.

The dangers these musicians experience every single day are bound to impact any audience. This is what it really looks like to bang your head against the wall.

More than just another Iraq-doc, Heavy Metal is a surprisingly up-close look at the toll of the war on young people, and how they still have dreams and still want to jam, party and get down.

An intrepid, unlikely and altogether splendid feat of D.I.Y. reportage.
