Out of the Ashes


The critical consensus

An inspiring and charming documentary that will appeal to more that just cricket fans.

****(*)David Parkinson, Empire Online, 25/10/2010

Prepare to be bowled over by a joyous and inspiring story.

***(*)(*)Siobhan Synnot, The Scotsman, 26/10/2010

It’s as an astute chronicle of life on the road that Out Of the Ashes excels.

***(*)(*)Sukhdev Sandhu, The Telegraph, 28/10/2010

This movie is a valuable way of deparochialising Afghanistan, showing that it can be understood in ways that have nothing to do with TV news cliches.

***(*)(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 28/10/2010

It's a stirring tale of an underdog having his day, and when you see from what grim circumstances these Afghan sportsmen rose, it is a remarkable one too.

***(*)(*)Anthony Quinn, The Independent, 29/10/2010

(A) quirkily engaging documentary.

Philip French, The Observer, 31/10/2010

Entertaining and enlightening.

****(*)Tom Dawson, Total Film, 26/10/2010

Politics may be woven in, but this is really a human story about people tying to dedicate themselves to the things that make them happy.
