Movie Reviews

Variety - 9/10 by John AndersonThe only people who seem immune to the politics of the Iraq War are also at its epicenter: the doctors and nurses who mend and tend to the wounded, and who provide the heart and soul of Terry Sanders' Fighting for Life.
Village Voice - 8/10 by Nick PinkertonDirector Terry Sanders's goal of comprehensiveness and some bad sequencing prevents the film from achieving the ringing purity of John Huston's postwar doc "Let There Be Light."
San Diego Metropolitan - 8/10 by Jean LowerisonIf you're wondering where the heroes went, take a look at this group, and see if you're not impressed.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Ann HornadayIf Fighting for Life is propaganda, it's the best kind, largely avoiding editorialization and instead focusing on simple human drama.
Wall Street Journal - 7/10 by Joe MorgensternThese young men and women aren't in it for the money, or the glory; they only want to save lives and heal wounds. That's another kind of glory.
KPBS.org - 7/10 by Beth AccomandoSanders provides a rare glimpse into the world of the doctors and nurses tasked with saving lives in difficult circumstances. You cannot leave Fighting for Life without a deep sense of respect for the medical personnel and the patients.
Spirituality and Practice - 6/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatA salute to the courageous and caring work done by military doctors and nurses in Iraq, Germany, and the United States.
Slant Magazine - 6/10 by Paul SchrodtThough it superficially deals with how military doctors work during a long and unpopular war, Terry Sanders's film more closely disentangles a specialized establishment in its own right.
New York Daily News - 6/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanThere are some heartbreaking moments here, from the reactions of recent amputees to the tearful doctors and nurses trying hard to remain professional. And there is no question that Sanders has discovered a worthy subject. He just hasn't found the right way to approach it.
New York Post - 6/10 by Kyle SmithThe doctors and nurses who care for America's wounded troops on the battlefield and in hospitals get their due in Fighting for Life.
