Critic Reviews

Drawn from Rabe's diaries, the film is rich in telling and ironic details.Full Review

Kevin Thomas
Los Angeles Times

Thanks to Tukur, what we get here is still something: a stunning portrait of a good man caught in a widening inferno.Full Review

Peter Rainer
Christian Science Monitor

The acting is immaculate; the editing is seamless; the imagery is blunt.Full Review

Amy Biancolli
San Francisco Chronicle

The 134-minute film jams in much information, incidents and characters without losing any entertainment value. And, fortunately, its heroism isn't pumped up or glorified.Full Review

Kirk Honeycutt
