In the end, though, its makers are clearly more interested in violent jolts than religious ideas.

Its certainly one of the more provocative and entertaining movies of the fall, even if its message isnt all it should be. Kevin Lally

But there is no questioning the films humanity.In the modern world, the truth is best conveyed through a combination of tragedy and farce.

Luckily, Jonze is often quite amusing, and likable enough that his antics never fully wear out their welcome.
The Movie Boy

The trite, formula films that are the usual alternative to the summer blockbuster, but not this year.
Reeling Reviews
3.8
Unsentimental, non glamorized, and unclouded by the usual overlay of rose colored nostalgia, this is a raw but rewarding motion picture.
ReelViews

Along with the thoughtful commentary, Russell provides a uniquely appropriate look.The film seems overexposed and bleached.

Drama is the root of any war film.Comedy, conversely, is an unexpected element here, and it should be credited solely to Russells screenplay.
Not Coming
