Los Angeles Times by

Much of its strength resides in the way it eschews narrative contrivance. The movie observes behavior without explaining or judging it.

Boston Globe by Jay Carr

In all respects, from choice of material to fullness of execution on every level, The War Zone is an extraordinary piece of work.

San Francisco Examiner by Wesley Morris

Roth, though, is like a sociopathic arsonist, one enthralled with his ability to start little blazes and one who would even call the fire department, but wouldn't stick around to see whether anyone put them out.
