... a gripping piece of combat theater.

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

It's hard to believe this is writer-director Danis Tanovic's first feature fiction film.

Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle

The film would have been a stunner under any circumstances, but with the situation in Afghanistan and the Middle East worsening on a daily basis, No Man's Land feels even more relevant.

Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald

The acting's so strong and the dialogue so realistic, that it feels authentic.

Jane Sumner, Dallas Morning News

A strange and disturbing film, but it is not without a stirringly humanist compassion even at its most outlandish and outrageous.

Andrew Sarris, New York Observer
