...a tremendously absorbing film, a documentary that plays like a first-rate thriller hinging on key issues of the Cold War and African decolonization.

...there’s no denying that “Cold Case Hammarskjöld” makes it easy to digest a truly disturbing story.

...en sensationelt god dokumentarfilm, som fortjener at få opmærksomhed for sine filmiske fortrin.

...en uegal film, der starter i den morsomt selviscenesættende happeningstil, vi kender fra Brüggers andre film, men slutter med alvorlige afsløringer af en mulig forbrydelse mod menneskeheden.
