Leave your thoughts about MURPH: The Protector.
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip Martin... a documentary with the limited but entirely honorable mission of commemorating the life and sacrifice of Navy Lt. Michael P. Murphy, a Navy SEAL who died in a firefight in the mountains of eastern Afghanistan in June 2005. |
| Shared DarknessBrent SimonA moving chronicle of some of the traits that should be more widely venerated in a media and pop cultural landscape too driven by the elevation of the trivial. |
| Washington Free BeaconSonny BunchThe story of Lt. Michael P. Murphy's life doesn't need to be hyped, and Murph: The Protector does a good job of staying out of its way. |
| McClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreWe’re reminded not just of sacrifice, but of those to whom service is a genuine calling and what that bandied-about word “hero” really means. |
| Washington PostSean O’ConnellThe challenge for any filmmaker wanting to convey the personal tales of our nation’s armed forces likely lies in finding a narrative as compelling, relatable and sentimental as the one told in Murph: The Protector. |
| The New York TimesDaniel M. GoldMurph: The Protector reminds us of the valor expended on distant front lines and the holes left at home. |
| Village VoiceNick SchagerA one-note hagiography, no matter how convincing and affecting its portrait of unimpeachable courage. |
| VarietyDavid ChuteThe serviceable documentary Murph: The Protector could hardly fail to be an emotionally potent experience. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckBringing a much needed personal perspective to a war that has claimed thousands of American lives, the film nonetheless suffers from a hagiographic quality that, from everything we hear expressed about its self-effacing subject, would have disturbed even him. |
| Slant MagazineRob HumanickOne wonders if the filmmakers ever asked themselves who their film was intended for, or if it was at least a consciously self-serving effort from the outset. |
