Chuck Bowen Slant Magazine Sequestro is terrifying and clear-headed. Rated: 3/4 Sep 13, 2010 Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Filming over four years and tracking several cases, the Brazilian director Jorge W. Atalla favors a fevered shooting style that's repetitious and disorienting but also effortlessly dramatic. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 10, 2010 Full Review Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times Sequestro is a tremendous feat of inspired structuring and editing. Rated: 4/5 Sep 9, 2010 Full Review Annlee Ellingson Moving Pictures Magazine With its vrit footage and synthesized score, Sequestro at times plays like a non-trashy episode of Cops. Sep 14, 2010 Full Review Tony Medley Tolucan Times ...a brilliant examination of the horror of kidnapping, showing the real life victims and their families at the time of their anguish; hard to forget. Rated: 8/10 Sep 9, 2010 Full Review Daniel Eagan Film Journal International Although Atalla surely couldn't have intended to desensitize viewers, Sequestro comes very close to exhausting them.
