Here are some reviews:
“…brilliantly crafted … will haunt viewers and shake them from complacency … a classic of its genre and an important page of Canadian history.”
- Bruce Kirkland. Toronto Sun
” …. a movie so gripping and suspenseful in its retelling of a large-scale tragedy that it frequently seems like a tautly written drama instead of grim reality.”
- Canadian Press
” … pushes the frontiers of non-fiction with a veracity and power on a par with movies like United 93 and A Mighty Heart … finds a poetic beauty and glimmers of transcendence in imagining what might have unfolded, and portraying a life that is about to be lost.
– Brian Johnson - MacLeans
”Devoid of any overt political rhetoric, Air India 182 ends up being among the most important political films of the past few years.”
– Jesse Wente – CBC Radio
