Toni Ti, writing in ''Brightest Young Things'', a Washington DC and New York based web magazine noted that the film "brings up a lot of issues the public may not be aware of". However she describes the "often-gratingly blatant bias of the film maker". Malagurski, she says "employs a quippy sarcastic tone that sounds incredibly petulant and at times, too amateur for the gravitas subject matter". She goes on, "overall, spending 30 minutes on Kosovo and barely mentioning what really happened in Srebrenica leaves me questioning the director’s choice in taking this approach". Concluding, "what is he trying to show? It can be quite baffling at times".<ref name="Brightest Young Things">{{cite web | url=http://brightestyoungthings.com/articles/movie-review-weight-of-chains-opens-in-dc.htm | title=Weight Of Chains Opens In DC | publisher=Tony Ti - Brightest Young Things | date=May 23, 2011 | accessdate=26 September 2014 | archive-date=October 28, 2014 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141028063037/http://brightestyoungthings.com/articles/movie-review-weight-of-chains-opens-in-dc.htm | url-status=live }}</ref> | Toni Ti, writing in ''Brightest Young Things'', a Washington DC and New York based web magazine noted that the film "brings up a lot of issues the public may not be aware of".
