Generally favorable reviews - based on 11 Critics What's this?

  • Summary: When Hollywood gives a young Iraqi film student the opportunity of a lifetime, nothing goes according to plan, and the result is an engaging, sometimes comical political parable about do-gooder intentions gone wrong. (First Run/Icarus Films)
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 7 out of 11
  2. Negative: 0 out of 11
  1. 83
    Operation Filmmaker takes a thrilling left turn from its original conceit, and Davenport does a nice job rolling with the punches.
  2. The film's parallels between Mohmed's travails and the Iraq war are forced, but overall this is a fascinating odyssey that never plays out in ways you would expect.
  3. Davenport herself seems stunned by how complicated the story turns out to be, which just makes her movie all the more worthwhile.
