"Though Pontecorvo’s sympathies ultimately lie with the Algerians, he powerfully registers the loss of innocent life on both sides, refusing to trivialize war’s casualties for the sake of a radical polemic. Truth transcends all other values in THE BATTLE OF ALGIERS, and it’s a testament to Pontecorvo’s talent that the controversy that has always swirled around the film rarely has anything to do with its accuracy."
-Scott Tobias, The A.V. Club
