Leave your thoughts about Southern Comfort.
| The GuardianPhilip FrenchIt's an allegory about the Vietnam war, a study of American character and a national propensity for violence. Southern Comfort is a masterpiece. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThe film defuses all preconceptions about the ''issues'' of transsexual identity to arrive at a place of tremulous human power. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussThe notion of Vietnam as quagmire is literalized in this stunning 1981 action-suspense film. |
| New York PostLou LumenickEads's wit, generosity, insight, and courage are irresistible. |
| Fantastica DailyChuck O'LearyAn atmospheric, tough-as-nails survival tale, and arguably Walter Hill's best movie overall. Well cast with a great Ry Cooder score. Packs a definite wallop. |
| Slant MagazineChuck BowenSouthern Comfort is a thriller that twists one up in knots, whipping the audience up to a point where they may wish that director Walter Hill would just spring the damn gore already so as to relieve the tension he masterfully coils. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertSouthern Comfort is a film of drum-tight professionalism. It is also, unfortunately, so committed to its allegorical vision that it never really comes alive as a story about people. |
| Chicago ReaderBen SachsStripping these characters to their essences, Hill identifies a shared culture of hatred that unites a range of Americans. |
| EmpireIan NathanA war film without the war but with some interesting observations nonetheless. |
| The DissolveNoel MurrayBeyond its genre roots and its deeper meanings, Southern Comfort is a well-honed study of characters and setting. |
