Chris Buckle The Skinny Ziff's film impresses by adopting multiple distances, from the close-up excavation of mass graves to comparatively disassociated art exhibitions, all augmented by co-producer Michael Nyman's evocative score. Rated: 4/5 Feb 23, 2012 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Rated: 4/5 Jan 24, 2012 Full Review Chris Barsanti Film Journal International The incredible 2007 discovery of thousands of negatives of the Spanish Civil War (including many by Robert Capa) provides a window into that war's ongoing trauma in this exquisite, if sometimes repetitive, documentary.
