It makes its point in a way that a straight documentary could not.
John Hartl, Seattle Times
Fresh
While not an altogether convincing character study of the three detainees, Guantanamo is a nonetheless chilling indictment.
Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer
Fresh
Offers a gripping rebuke of the way prisoners are treated at Guantanamo, even though it never entirely settles important questions about what the Tipton Three might have been up to.
Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News

Winterbottom's re-enactors do a persuasive job of depicting young men whose ad hoc decision to travel from Pakistan to Afghanistan put them solidly in the wrong-place/wrong-time category.
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post
