Philip French Guardian The actual encounters with the former terrorists who called themselves Antonio and Camilla prove rather anti‑climactic. Feb 14, 2011 Full Review Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) Rated: 3/5 Feb 11, 2011 Full Review Xan Brooks Guardian My Kidnapper - charged, complex and always compelling - revisits the ruins and speaks to the ghosts. Rated: 4/5 Feb 10, 2011 Full Review Allan Hunter Daily Express (UK) An emotion-charged documentary... Rated: 4/5 Feb 14, 2011 Full Review David Parkinson Radio Times While this is undoubtedly a compelling story, it's also deeply and disconcertingly personal. Rated: 3/5 Feb 10, 2011 Full Review Total Film 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. Rated: 3/5 Feb 7, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Brilliant feature length documentary. Saw this at the cinema but it's also on More4 on Tuesday 22 February at 10pm. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
