What are critics saying?

Village Voice by Daphne Howland

In her provocative documentary Drone, Tonje Hessen Schei shows how, actually, the U.S. and its military-industrial complex treat war like a video game.

The Guardian by Leslie Felperin

Without stridency but with a clear sense of purpose, director Tonje Hessen Schei compiles a mix of original interviews and footage and archive material and simulations to explore the history of drones.

Los Angeles Times by Michael Rechtshaffen

Drone is a solid, thought-provoking documentary that raises some pertinent questions even if they may not originate from the most objective of places.

The New York Times by Neil Genzlinger

There are no suggested solutions here to the difficult issues raised, but the film at least reminds us that it’s important not to accept this new way of warring without scrutinizing it.
