"As a look behind that T-shirt you just bought on sale for $9.99 at The Gap, and the human labor, sweat and suffering that went into it, this... definitely deserves wider attention." ~ Hollywood Reporter
"With Made in Bangladesh, Hossain has crafted an urgent cry for workers' rights, and a vision of feminist solidarity in the face of overwhelming opposition." ~ Cinema Scope
"As Shimu's efforts ramp up and appear increasingly futile, "Made in Bangladesh" acquires a quiet power." ~ The New York Times
