-
The perspective one gets from inside the House of Saddam is different than media reports from the outside and is, in itself, an important reason to tune in.
-
A chilling and riveting essay on the evils that men do and continue doing, year after year, century after century, millennium after millennium.
-
Made jointly by the BBC and HBO, House of Saddam is well told and often lurid, a saga that blends the dirty work of despotism with the rituals of family gatherings, sibling rivalries and marital discontents.
-
House of Saddam offers a fascinating but limited portrait of the Iraqi tyrant.
-
There are well-written and well-mounted scenes and some good performances. It is not without suspense. But even at four hours, House of Saddam feels incomplete and scattered--a lessened, not a heightened reality.
-
It's a refreshing take and an interesting effort, if finally not quite a compelling one.
-
House plays like an edition of PBS' Frontline with actors.
