The Insurgents's Blurbs |
About me:
A brain-teaser that tosses ideologies in a narrative blender alternately set to "certainty" and "ambiguity," The Insurgents makes the most of its compact cast of attractive thesps... consistently engaging food for thought... suspense is white hot.
Variety
The Insurgents flashes by... the hurried, don't-look-back quality of the story a perfect reflection of its subjects' fractured lives.
Broward-Palm Beach New Times
Outstanding actors and an ominous scenario make this political chamber play one of the must-see contributions to the festival. A film which is as important as it is controversial.
Stadtpark
Explosiveness comes through the American film The Insurgents which takes a critical attitude in relation to US politics.
Bremer Nachrichten
The Independent section shines with The Insurgents (USA) by Scott Dacko.
Bremer 9/2006
The Oldenburg Film Festival, predominantly specializing in independent productions originating from the USA, offered its visitor a worthy class. Films like The Insurgents have definitely earned their right to a theatrical release.
Blickpunkt Film
A politically provocative film.
Filmecho Filmwoche
With outstanding actors the director sketches a critical scenario about how terrorism develops, without plunging into the usual cliches.
Film Fernsehen
This year's audience award, worth 2000 euro, went to the film The Insurgents. Debut director Scott Dacko's work reflects on how terrorism develops, and pairs the whole with biting criticism of the US-American government.
Bremer Anzeiger
The Insurgents is a Chinese-box of a thriller...
Gearlog
The politically provocative film about American terrorism emerges as an intelligent thriller about confidence and betrayal.
Hunte Report
First highlight of the Independent Section: (unsettling for American politics) thriller The Insurgents.
Delme Report
A critical scenario is being sketched, about how terrorism develops.
Nordwest Zeitung
Mary Stuart Masterson will be a further well-known face on the screen of Cinemaxx. Masterson, known from her part in Fried Green Tomatoes, got involved with the low budget production The Insurgents. Background: Being an avid Bush-critic she was pleased by the daring attitude of the thriller towards US politics.
Kreiszeitung
The public favourite of the festival, however, became a debut film, which urgently and intensively searches out the causes of terrorism. The Insurgents by Scott Dacko received the audience prize for the best film of the Independent Section. "This honour helps us, because of the festival's great reputation in the United States," said the happy director. Next to him his mentor was beaming with joy: regular visitor of the festival, John Gallagher is a producer of the film. He had convinced Torsten Neumann to invite Dacko to Oldenburg.
Weser Kurier
Highlight of the Independent Section: The Insurgents.
Kulturetage
A provocative polit-thriller... complex and dynamic...
