Leave your thoughts about Lions for Lambs.
| Philadelphia WeeklySean BurnsIt's the role of an artist to not just comment on current events, but also to shape that commentary into a dramatic form that'll excite, move and inspire people. Lions for Lambs isn't filmmaking; it's list-making. |
| Observer (UK)Jason SolomonsIt's an unironic work that demands the audience's attention and should provoke a personal, even physical, response from each individual. |
| Hollywood ReporterRay BennettPoliticians, the media, educators, military commanders and a docile public all come under fire in a well-made movie that offers no answers but raises many important questions. |
| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsA passionate plea for honesty, courage and standing up for what you believe in, Lions for Lambs is a powder keg of a film. It's a film to debate and discuss |
| Associated PressDavid GermainMuch of the movie plays like a civics lesson. |
| Denver PostLisa KennedyLions for Lambs is a civics lesson, necessary to be sure, but leaving us drained of resolve, wading in the morass it hoped to pull us out of. |
| Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonThe dialogue between Streep and Cruise is slick and musical, and the actors find the rhythm of it, but it doesn't convince as the kind of power-brokering that goes on in big-time politics and media. |
| Projection BoothRob HumanickLions for Lambs reminds us of what Hollywood does best, when it wants to. |
| E! OnlineChris FarnsworthGood performances from Redford, Meryl Streep and Tom Cruise are wasted in what's basically a dorm-room debate with a couple of action scenes. |
| Empire MagazineHelen O'HaraA smart, accessible, surprisingly balanced look at our dysfunctional world. Compelling stuff. |
