Critics consensus

“A hard-hitting documentary with imagery as powerful as its message, The Cave poses heartbreakingly urgent questions -- and leaves them for the viewer to answer.”

The grace of someone like Dr. Ballour and her colleagues is unquestioned, endlessly valuable and deserving of all the recognition in the world. What it is not is banal. Which is what "The Cave" comes dangerously close to making it.

It's still profoundly effective film-making, but feels less true.

Like Ballour, it has a purpose: to focus the world's attention on the suffering of Syrian people.

The Cave is also a manifestation of the pessimism that emerged from the rubble of a devastated Siria. [Full review in Spanish]
