Bilge Ebiri Village Voice Over the course of its simple, unadorned 82 minutes, Mahamat-Saleh Haroun's Hissein Habré: A Chadian Tragedy wrecks you in ways you might not have known were possible. Sep 19, 2017 Full Review Ben Kenigsberg New York Times It's more of a document than a documentary; calling it cinema seems like an error of categorization. Sep 19, 2017 Full Review Richard Brody New Yorker [An] intimate, experiential, and impassioned documentary. Sep 18, 2017 Full Review Michael McNeely That Shelf Watching this film is not easy, nor should it be. Feb 15, 2019 Full Review Richard Porton Cinema Scope It is to Haroun's credit that he lets this statement stand alone, without any editorial embellishments. For the attentive viewer, there's no need for the director to connect the dots and invoke historical precedents. Oct 2, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews
