I don't think "Queimada" is as great a movie as "Battle of Algiers," but it retains its vitality, its outrage, its savagery and its spirit.
By Stephen Hunter FULL REVIEW

Pontecorvo's pointed 1969 drama of the politics of war feels surprisingly timely.
By Desson Thomson FULL REVIEW

An unusually successful attempt to mate good drama with political analysis.
By Dave Kehr FULL REVIEW

A flawed, but intriguing work, it offers, here and there, proof of Pontecorvo's gift for ecstatic epic filmmaking.
