Rating: 1.5/4 --
The lack of more than a handful of Iraqis decrying their personal losses and the chaos that has ensued makes it hard to trust the sincerity of the filmmakers.

Rating: 3/4 --
The movie conveys a sense of what it would be like to live in a place where bombs could drop next door.
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Rating: 3.5/5 --
The goal of this documentary is to show what life is like for the everyday people of Iraq... and the result may surprise you.

As a true or accurate portrait of the real Iraq ... pic pales in comparison to various in-depth U.S. and European reports, and to Bahman Ghobadi's brilliant new drama on wartime Kurdish refugees, Turtles Can Fly.
Variety
Rating: 2/4 --
It's impossible to say if what the makers of this 'experimental documentary' have assembled is a representative sample of these home movies, but on balance it's vastly more flattering to the Bush administration than Fahrenheit 9/11 and its ilk.

If Voices of Iraq cannot claim to represent the political 'truth' about the war, it certainly provides an unprecedented glimpse into the texture of daily life there.
New York Times
Rating: 2/4 --
Maybe my skepticism comes with the timing -- the movie arrives just days before the presidential election.

Product Description:
The people of Iraq tell their amazing stories in this fascinating and important documentary, which gives Iraqi men and women the chance to describe in their own words their years under Saddam Hussein and their struggle to create their own stable society in a period of appalling violence. Producers Eric Manes, Archie Drury, and Martin Kunert distributed 150 digital video cameras to Iraqis all over the country, and the resulting 400 hours of footage includes powerful testimony from sheiks and insurgents, mothers and children, and everyday workers, each discussing their perspective, hopes, and daily lives.
