John Anderson Variety 01/23/2009
Barker takes structural chances, eschewing the predictable for a more unorthodox film, and it works. Go to Full Review

Dragon F Feb 9 A good story that has some dramatic moments, but is carried by the excellent acting performances. Wagner and Ana are great and have tremendous chemistry. See more 02/16/2020 Reverently, engrossing, sad but inspiring. Sergio's 1st and last words in the film says everything we need to know about the mission of the dedicated, selfless, brilliant work of the United Nation's leaders and workers. Beautifully directed and filmed - a true tribute to Sergio, and, those who risked their lives to save him and spoke so eloquently about their time with him doing his best to indeed ''save the world.'' Great documentary about a truly Good Man. See more 10/12/2013 Poignant, straightforward doc. See more 01/12/2011 Sergio is a touching documentary revolving around the last hours of Sergio Vieira de Mello's life while delving into his charismatic personality and amazing past. I liked the structure of this film. So many documentaries (well, at least, those I have seen) tend to follow a traditional timeline, but Sergio bounces back and forth between Sergio's personal history, his accomplishments within the UN, interviews from friends and family, and the accounts from two of the men who attempted to save his life. "Touching" may not fully encompass the multitude of emotions that this film touches upon. In the end, a profound sense of loss- not only for this man's life but for how many other lives may have been affected by his presence, was what I was left with once the credits rolled. I would highly recommend this film for people who enjoy documentaries or are interested in recent history... though I must admit I don't know if this would be of the type I could watch repeatedly due to its heavy emotional nature. See more 11/23/2009 Fantastiskt inspirerande och rörande, även om filmen nästan bara handlar om hur han dog. Och en dokumentär som inte ställer en enda kritisk fråga är väl ingen dokumentär? See more 07/19/2009 Top bloke. Top doco. A real tearjerker. See more Read all reviews
