Musetto New York Post The impact is lessened by the director's failure to let those who think the war is justified have their say. Rated: 2/4 Jul 13, 2005 Full Review James Crawford Village Voice Pachachi shows an almost sedate, dignified country attempting to rebuild in the face of an obstinate, largely unhelpful occupying force. Jul 12, 2005 Full Review David Sterritt Christian Science Monitor [Pachachi] keeps things lively by roaming far and wide with her camera, returning to the statesmanship side of the documentary often enough to let us follow relevant events as they unfold.
