| The Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttClint Eastwood's Flags of Our Fathers does a most difficult and brave thing and does it brilliantly. It is a movie about a concept. Not just any concept but the shop-worn and often wrong-headed idea of "heroism." |
| New York PostLou LumenickBeach ("Windtalkers") gives a tremendously moving, Oscar-caliber performance as Hayes, portrayed by Tony Curtis in an earlier movie and celebrated in a song performed by both Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxAlternately accessible and obscure, the film is almost too rich to digest at one sitting, but even if experiencing this remarkable films means latching onto just a few of its myriad ideas, it's still a richly rewarding encounter. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranAs he did in "Unforgiven," "Mystic River" and "Million Dollar Baby," Eastwood handles this nuanced material with aplomb, giving every element of this complex story just the weight it deserves. The director's lean dispassion, his increased willingness to be strongly emotional while retaining an instinctive restraint, continues to astonish. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertEastwood’s two-film project is one of the most visionary of all efforts to depict the reality and meaning of battle. |
| USA TodayClaudia PuigIt is one of the year's best films and perhaps the finest modern film about World War II. |
| Washington PostStephen HunterStands with the best movies of this young century and the old one that preceded it: It's passionate, honest, unflinching, gripping, and it pays respects. The flag raising on Iwo might have indeed become a pseudo-event as it was processed for goals, but there was nothing pseudo about the courage of the men who did it. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittVisually sublime and intellectually dense, this is one of the extremely rare movies that prove cinema can be as complex and profound as the very greatest art works in any form. |
| Village VoiceScott FoundasStrikes me as one of Godard's most accessible works - one in which the graying, stubbly maestro, who turns 74 today, presents himself and his ideas to the audience in a less combative way than he sometimes has in the past. |
| TimeRichard CorlissClint Eastwood has crafted a bold and meticulous epic. |
