A lucid, emotionally affecting portrait not just of one man but of his times. Full Review

The New York Times
Going Upriver is a small, valuable contribution to the continuing project of sorting out and making sense of Vietnam, a war that, among other things, opened a fissure at the heart of American liberalism that has yet to heal. Full Review

Washington Post
It's one view of Kerry that seems to have been lost in the present acrimonious shuffle. Full Review
Frank Scheck
The Hollywood Reporter
A clearly partisan effort -- director George Butler is a longtime Kerry friend and supporter -- the film is nonetheless bound to have some political impact, thanks to its powerful depiction of the young Kerry. Full Review
Joe Morgenstern
Wall Street Journal
Makes an eloquent case for John Kerry's courage, both during and immediately after his service in Vietnam. Full Review
