Master filmmaker Errol Morris turns his keen eye to the Abu Ghraib prison scandal in this intense and provocative documentary. Using interviews with the soldiers that appeared in the now infamous torture photos, Morris strings their stories together with vivid reenactments and striking digital technology for a wrenching look at the events at the prison. With his trademark straight-into-the-lens interview style, it is chilling to see the familiar faces of Lynndie England and Sabrina Harmon as they try to articulate their experiences. The lawlessness and confusion in the prison quickly become evident, and as their stories unfold, the film slowly strips away the many puzzling questions that surround the incidents, exposing a much larger truth about corruption within the US military, corruption that appears to reach far beyond the handful of soldiers that took the fall for the scandal. Morris's reenactments are extremely vivid, and often shot in a beautifully cinematic style. While these techniques make for riveting filmmaking, they are sometimes considered controversial by documentary purists, and some might criticize his detailed recreations of such deeply disturbing events. However, others might deem the reenactments necessary to really bringing home the reality of what happened. Regardless of his methods, Morris does a masterly job of untangling such a complex, twisted story. He shines a glaring light on one of America's most shameful moments and, more importantly, exposes how little we truly know about our military's methods. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)

When you see the picture, you don’t see outside the frame. The dark side of the “nice guys". Hard to say which is more amazing Morris’ choice of topic or its delivery, which in no way suffers from talking heads. It’s fascinating how he manages to make people tell him even what they don’t want to reveal, I sit there gobsmacked at how he’s not afraid let the camera do the work and to record details of those questioned, which often gives away more about them than a thousand words. And I just love his cooperation with top composers. This applied to his previous work and it applies here too. Simply the exact opposite of flashy, technicolor bullshit with nothing to say that have the cheek to call themselves documentaries.
