A little over a year ago, nine terrorists drove into Paris with guns, grenades, and suicide belts. They were there to perpetrate a coordinated, calculated mass murder on behalf of ISIL and, more symbolically, to launch an assault on culture itself, by turning the city's houses of mirth - soccer stadiums, cafés, restaurants, and of course, the Bataclan concert hall - into monuments to death and fear.

Leave your thoughts about Eagles of Death Metal: Nos Amis (Our Friends).
| VarietyDennis HarveyIt’s an engrossing, ultimately poignant chronicle. |
| The Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenYou don’t have to be a follower of Eagles of Death Metal, or even glancingly familiar with their music, to appreciate the emotional power of Hanks’ deeply felt film. |

The horrible thing that happened and their path to heal that wound and move on. Really moving and that is its approach and that's the reason why it works so good. |
