Philip French Guardian 02/14/2011
The actual encounters with the former terrorists who called themselves Antonio and Camilla prove rather anti‑climactic. Go to Full Review Xan Brooks Guardian 02/10/2011
4/5
My Kidnapper - charged, complex and always compelling - revisits the ruins and speaks to the ghosts. Go to Full Review Nigel Andrews Financial Times 02/09/2011
4/5
My Kidnapper is a documentary made with a few ideas and a few pennies. But its privileged viewpoint is spellbinding, just like its lush mountaintop views of Colombian jungle. Go to Full Review Allan Hunter Daily Express (UK) 02/14/2011
4/5
An emotion-charged documentary... Go to Full Review Total Film 02/07/2011
3/5
The horrendous experiences of the victims and the humble statements of the perpetrators speak for themselves, but Henderson's closeness to his subject (not to mention an emotionally manipulative Radiohead soundtrack) compromises the journalistic analysis. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

03/25/2011 Quite a tale. The director was a little hard on the kidnappers, yet not nearly hard enough. The Israelis who were kidnapped seem to have had some of the raw hatred that I would have had in the same situation, but the Europeans were much more wimpy. The story couldn't have not been compelling though. See more 02/17/2011 Brilliant feature length documentary. Saw this at the cinema but it's also on More4 on Tuesday 22 February at 10pm.
