Opiniones de Metacritic

Rough as can be in both content and style, Ghosts will be welcome everywhere tough, provocative docus are shown.

It's an unforgettable, visceral journey into the heart of darkness.

A spectacularly turbulent portrait of the chaos and bloodshed that have come to define Haiti.

Dives into the brutal heart of a place most people would avoid at all cost.

A moving and profoundly upsetting portrait of life near the bottom of the global power pyramid.

A forceful documentary set against the 2004 Haitian coup d'état that toppled the government of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.

If nothing else, Leth shows how wrung-out and careless everyone gets amid constant bloodshed. "We don't need peace," one says. "We need school for our kids. Food. Sleep."

The underlying political motivation may be unclear, but the violence and desperation of lives lived in something close to hell on earth is terrifyingly clear.

In spite of occasional gestures in the direction of political or sociological context -- interviews with anti-Aristide activists, news images of battles beyond Cité Soleil -- Mr. Leth is not, in the end, much concerned with offering an analysis of the Haitian situation. Like Lele, he'd rather have a party with the thugs.

Ghosts of Cité Soleil is a prismatic, jagged, none too coherent travelogue.
