Leave your thoughts about Full Metal Jacket.
| NewsweekJack KrollKubrick's harrowing, beautiful and characteristically eccentric new film about Vietnam, is going to puzzle, anger and (I hope) fascinate audiences as much as any film he has made to date... A film of immense and very rare imagination. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonOne of Kubrick's foremost triumphs, a genuinely challenging and uncomfortable war film |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonThe most eloquent and exacting vision of the war to date... Inspired with technique rather than overblown with it, Kubrick, the filmmaker's filmmaker, lays one on you. |
| Cinemaphile.orgDavid KeyesThe movie warrants a response that is perhaps the closest thing possible on film to witnessing the mayhem firsthand. |
| TIME MagazineRichard CorlissFull Metal Jacket is not a realistic film -- it is horror-comic superrealism, from a God's-eye view -- but it should fully engage the ordinary movie grunt. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseKubrick again turns his unsparing eye to the dread of existence...of a godless universe...of moral frailty and civilization gone wrong...[Blu-ray] |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonIt still qualifies as one of Kubrick's most underrated pictures, and it's second only to Apocalypse Now as the best Vietnam War movie ever made. |
| Chicago TribuneGene SiskelIt's a great piece of filmmaking, diminished only by a second act that fails to live up to the first act of the Marines in training. |
| The NationTerrence RaffertyNo amount of stylistic analysis, however, is likely to explain why a man would devote more than three years of his life to making a war movie in which violent death isn't meant to move us. Does Kubrick really think we're not callous enough about war? |
| Senses of CinemaBrad StevensAlthough initially received with bewilderment, Full Metal Jacket now stands among the key works in Stanley Kubrick's exploration of identity and its problematic nature. |
