Movie Reviews

Cinema Writer - 10/10 by Jay Antani...among the greatest war films ever made. Rich in humanist themes and absolutely unflinching in its depiction of the moral chaos and physical violence of war.
House Next Door - 10/10 by Andrew SchenkerMostly what the film evokes is the morality-effacing brutality of war in a series of scenes that are both too staid and too self-consciously kinetic.
House Next Door - 10/10 by Glenn Heath Jr.During the most difficult moments of City of Life and Death, the confrontation between fledgling acts of humanity and the unimaginable horrors of reality becomes a core conflict that never gets resolved.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 10/10 by Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)There is real beauty in its effort to comprehend the incomprehensible.
Washington Examiner - 9/10 by Kelly Jane TorranceThe performances, even of the extras, are all searing portrayals of fear, defiance, cruelty and guilt.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 9/10 by Emanuel LevyMust-see: This multi-dimensional chronicle of the 1937 Japanese occupation and massacre of Nanking is a masterpiece, a devastating war film of epic proportions, shot in a realistic yet also poetic style.
Boston Phoenix - 9/10 by Tom MeekThe most visceral war film since Saving Private Ryan - a portrait of the hopeless in the grasp of a sadistic oppressor.
Film Journal International - 9/10 by Chris BarsantiLu Chuan's steely epic of the rape of Nanking has dramatic inconsistencies but overcomes them with sheer force of will; rarely has art served history so superbly.
Turner Classic Movies Online - 9/10 by Sean AxmakerCity of Life and Death puts a convincing image to the abstract history.
rec.arts.movies.reviews - 9/10 by Laura Clifford...it is this humanity, standing beside horrific crimes against same, which makes "City of Life and Death" one of the greatest war films.
