Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
However closely they mirror the real experience of Mr. Nicholson and others, some of the shocks here are too sadly predictable.
– Janet Maslin,
New York Times,

fresh:
Messy and visceral, with an articulate, pointed anger that's recognizably British, "Welcome to Sarajevo" hits with an impact that's not diminished by the fact that Sarajevo's uneasy peace has held.
– Charles Taylor,

rotten:
Too often we sense that the actors are drifting and the story is at sea.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

fresh:
Welcome to Sarajevo isn't just the story of an outsider's perspective of the conflict; it's a compelling examination of the role the media played in reporting and shaping the average person's views of the war.
– James Berardinelli,

fresh:
A compelling but jumbled film that examines the line between journalistic detachment and passion.
