- Critics' reviews
-
-
"This calm and thorough film has just the right attitude and tone to deal with a most incendiary story."
-
"Nelson's film eschews sensationalism, and knowing how the story ends in no way diminishes its visceral impact."
-
"Five people did escape, and they contribute their stories to the spellbinding documentary."
-
"While Jonestown lacks the power of revelation, it's a first-rate piece of journalism, as fascinating and thorough as any magazine article."
-
"Nelson has fashioned a compelling movie around an unfathomable mystery. To see Jones's face, eyes hidden behind trademark aviator shades, is to experience the last shock in Psycho."
