It's an extraordinarily affecting, personal, and at times uplifting tale.
December 23, 2006
A documentary would have more powerfully captured the horror of the Bosnian conflict than this synthetic, if well-acted and -intentioned, drama.

Too often we sense that the actors are drifting and the story is at sea.
March 24, 2002
A blistering docudrama, as refreshing as it is horrifying.
New York Times

However closely they mirror the real experience of Mr. Nicholson and others, some of the shocks here are too sadly predictable.

By turns darkly comical and passionately angry

A crisp, rigorously unsentimental director, Winterbottom was a good choice for this project.

Good set-up; less pay-off than I'd hoped.
January 01, 2000
Messy and visceral, with an articulate, pointed anger that's recognizably British, "Welcome to Sarajevo" hits with an impact that's not diminished by the fact that Sarajevo's uneasy peace has held.

Winterbottom takes a recent history the rest of the world already was beginning to forget and throws it into a sharp, human focus.

A compelling but jumbled film that examines the line between journalistic detachment and passion.
USA Today

Loosely structured, it keeps its focus despite lots of dramatic wiggle room.
