Movie Reviews

Tribune News Service - 9/10 by Katie WalshThe best parts of Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk aren't the battles or the spectacles or even the groundbreaking technology. It's the easy camaraderie between the soldiers, led with a gruff, dry humor by standout Garrett Hedlund
Scroll.in - 9/10 by Nandini RamnathThe specifics of the story are lost amidst the clumsy back-and-forthing between the past and the present, the sluggish pace, and the timidity with which Lee and writer Jean-Christophe Castelli approach potentially incendiary material.
Los Angeles Daily News - 9/10 by Rob LowmanWhat the film captures so well -- if imperfectly -- is the tumult inside Billy.
The Seattle Times - 9/10 by Soren AndersenThe acting and script are so strong that the picture is an outstanding achievement even in the 2D version that most people will see.

Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com - 9/10 by Cary DarlingDirector Ang Lee has taken the very internal novel by Dallas author Ben Fountain - a work that tries to get into the head of an Iraq War soldier -- and opened it up into a surprisingly effective meditation on a soldier's homefront experience.
Miami Herald - 8/10 by Rene RodriguezIn his debut, Alwyn comes off as a likable, sympathetic screen presence capable of handling more difficult material. He’ll have plenty more opportunities. Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, though, will be forgotten in a month’s time.
Newsday - 8/10 by Rafer GuzmanAng Lee's unprecedented use of digital technology makes for a hyperreal immersion into the mind of a traumatized soldier.
Mark Reviews Movies - 8/10 by Mark DujsikThe film's criticism is not leveled against the war, but against the people who would deny the true nature of combat for their own ends.
Independent (UK) - 8/10 by Geoffrey MacnabThe film is very good at capturing the camaraderie of the soldiers -- and the sometimes desperate way in which they rely on one another.
