Leave your thoughts about Bloody Sunday.

| The Film YapNick RogersTime has offered the Troubles perspective, investigation and pop-culture outlets (U2′s "Sunday Bloody Sunday"). But Paul Greengrass's film spoke to how reason meant absolutely nothing when rage reigned on either side of the line. |
| Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta)Brian GibsonThis is tragedy in its rawest form: bloody chaos I couldn't help but watch. . . . The tension is palpable and the brutality is immediate. |
| Miami HeraldRene RodriguezWhat Bloody Sunday lacks in clarity, it makes up for with a great, fiery passion. |
| eFilmCritic.comCollin SouterBloody Sunday has the grace to call for prevention rather than to place blame, making it one of the best war movies ever made. It's a movie that accomplishes so much that one viewing can't possibly be enough. |

| San Francisco ChronicleEdward GuthmannA great achievement: tense and passionate, a film that one feels not just emotionally but also physically. |
| VarietyScott FoundasA stunning work, revisiting controversial events with journalistic objectivity and a meticulous eye for detail. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonAn extraordinary film ... that's impossible to dismiss or leave unmoved. |
| The New YorkerDavid DenbyA bracing, unblinking work that serves as a painful elegy and sobering cautionary tale. |
