Leave your thoughts about Jim: The James Foley Story.
| AV ClubKenji FujishimaJim: The James Foley Story is more than just a tribute to a fallen journalist. It’s a deeply moving testament to a man who dared to face the worst of humanity and somehow managed to maintain his sense of empathy in spite of it all. |
| RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoDirected by an old family friend, “Jim” is a moving portrait of courage, but it is most of all a concerted effort to take back the life of James Foley. |
| The PlaylistKatie WalshIt’s an incredibly moving film that encompasses a wide scope of global issues through the intimate remembrance of one life. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Kate TaylorDirected by Foley’s childhood friend Brian Oakes, the doc does raise some difficult issues – albeit very tactfully. |
| VarietyGuy LodgeOakes’ film may not share its subject’s hard-headed journalistic drive, but as an articulation of grief — directed by a childhood friend, with significant participation from the Foley family — it’s undeniably moving. |
| Hollywood ReporterStephen FarberJim ultimately raises more questions than it can answer, so it cannot be considered a completely satisfying documentary. Nevertheless, it builds undeniable emotional force as it reaches its somber conclusion. |
| Little White LiesCatherine KarellisAn important reminder of why we need conflict journalists - and the dangers they face. |
| Financial TimesNigel AndrewsJim convinces us of its title subject's simple, resolute heroism. |
| Irish TimesTara Brady[Jim] tries not to dwell on the end, insisting instead that we get to know its tragic subject. |
| PopMattersCynthia FuchsThat personal stories become entangled in these others, so much louder and more violent and overbearing than any individual's can be, you're struck by the need for more: more storytelling and more visibility, more doors opened and more lessons shared. |
