Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Mick LaSalleBy trying to be about so little, telling a simple fragile romantic story, Dogfight is about so much -- war and peace, love and romance, sex roles and cultural myths. What it understands is that to be really anti-war, rather than glitzy moralizing, a film should just be full of life, its characters so richly nuanced and detailed that they resonate with energy.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertDogfight isn't a love story so much as a story about how a young woman helps a confused teenage boy to discover his own better nature. The fact that his discoveries take place on the night before he ships out to fight the war in Vietnam only makes the story more poignant.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Jay CarrFans of the Say Anything/ Running On Empty school of drama could do a lot worse that give this one a go.
Los Angeles Times - 5/10 by Kenneth TuranIt’s not that Dogfight doesn’t have any story. In fact it has two, but neither one has anything like the weight of a feature, and the connection between the two is too tenuous for even a director as capable as Nancy Savoca (making her first film since the much-lauded True Love) to bridge.
Rolling Stone - 5/10 by Peter TraversDogfight doesn’t sum up an era; it merely romanticizes it. What could have been an incisive movie about alienation deteriorates into a conventional romance.
Entertainment Weekly - 5/10 by Owen GleibermanFor all the pitfalls it scrupulously avoids, Dogfight isn’t finally very interesting. It’s not just the movie’s plot that’s diminutive. The emotions seem small too.
The New York Times - 4/10 by Vincent CanbyThe film wants to be honest (and in its cruelties, it is), but the operative sensibility is that of a sitcom world. The characters aren't necessarily idealized, but they are flat and uninteresting. The material is lugubrious. The only seemingly spontaneous moment comes at the very end, which is too late.
User Review - 10/10 by blarsenuscWith due respect, all the critics acting as if this has no plot or any sense of momentum strike me as being a bit obtuse. Like Before Sunrise, it has the tension of its ticking clock right from the start. Eddie is leaving to go to war in the morning, and once you realize these two might love each other that sense of not having enough time only grows more gripping. It's a beautiful film about an America about to plunge itself into one of its ugliest chapters and it's about how people can too often choose to be ugly. It's also about the more virtuous road and the hope that at a person can choose love over brutality. I don't get plotless at all from this.
User Review - 9/10 by Gamzguy17The film uses a very likeable romance between two radically different characters (a shout-out to Lili Taylor who is on par with lead River Phoenix) to share, with the audience, a 1960's Western America through various lenses. Director Nancy Savoca has delivered a superb piece of cinema.
