Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Nice Bombs feels as sad and directionless as the country it documents. Rated: 2/5 Jul 27, 2007 Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter The film suffers from a lack of timeliness. Jul 27, 2007 Full Review Ronnie Scheib Variety Disarmingly casual. Jul 14, 2007 Full Review Cynthia Fuchs PopMatters "Where's the path to the future? I don't see it." A tracking shot of two boys running along the sidewalk freezes on one, caught between now and a future that remains unknowable. Aug 16, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews
