Movie Reviews

Village Voice - 6/10 by Tim GriersonTreat it like a wobbly, precocious demo from a 24-year-old with mighty aspirations, filled with hints of what he would become, and you'll be properly enthralled.
Combustible Celluloid - 6/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonKubrick does show some brash invention and a yearning to experiment with angles.
Film Threat - 6/10 by Phil HallStanley Kubrick's long-unseen first feature film, recommended solely as a curio.
Reel Film Reviews - 5/10 by David Nusair...an exceedingly thin premise that's employed to sometimes striking yet often underwhelming effect by Kubrick...
The Atlantic - 4/10 by Steve Erickson... Fear and Desire shows that Kubrick's polished vision didn't emerge from a void. He had to start out with a rough draft first.
Antagony & Ecstasy - 4/10 by Tim BraytonA dismal expression of a lousy script... every bit the work of a young kid with lots of ideas and no clue what to do with them.
User Review - 10/10 by Miki BKUBRICK'S FIRST FILM AT AGE 22 IS AWESOME! It seems very cheesy at first, but there are so many Kubrickian things in this film that can be traced through every other movie he directed, it's rather interesting to see just how Stanley Kubrick began his film career.
User Review - 10/10 by Taylor NCrazy old Kubrick movie. Pretty entertaining and nicely weird.
User Review - 8/10 by Anna BIt's a bit silly and broad, and the short length does no favours to character development (everyone's gone crazy within 10 minutes). But even through the B-movie detritus Kubrick fashions a creepy, off-putting tone and atmosphere, and pulls off some lovely, if not amazing, little tricks in the editing and shot composition. It's no masterpiece, but I had fun watching it, and would call it underrated. Don't necessarily trust an artist's opinion of his own work.
User Review - 8/10 by Matthew DMore a psychological thriller than a war movie: taut from beginning to end and studying the threats from within more than the dangers from without. Many films in the genre are about how impersonal and dehumanising the experience is for those caught up in it and Fear and Desire touches on those themes too, but also it shows how things become so deeply personal and make them act so very human. If it is a little rough and ready around the edges it only adds to its authenticity and makes it less clinical than Kubrick's later work.
