- 80Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenLos Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenAlthough their work involves interviewing eyewitnesses and gathering photographic evidence to build a case for violations of international law, the procedural stuff tells just half of E-Team's compelling story.
- 75Washington PostAnn HornadayWashington PostAnn HornadayExciting, absorbing and stubbornly optimistic in the face of overwhelming devastation, E-Team will, with any luck, shed deserved light on the routine sacrifices these activists and professionals make for the sake of human values.
- 60Village VoiceSteve EricksonVillage VoiceSteve EricksonThe emphasis on the team's daring amid mass chaos seems a bit off: This threatens to become yet another film about white Americans and Europeans telling the stories of Third World people. But the rest of the film does much to redeem that dubious trope.
- 50Slant MagazineClayton DillardSlant MagazineClayton DillardThere's edifying information in the documentary, but it's tainted by forced dramatic tactics.
