Movie Reviews

TV Guide Magazine - 9/10 by Ken FoxThe film avoids theorizing about why the bridge should exert such a hold over the imaginations of suicides all over the world, but Steel's dramatic cinematography, particularly the distorted telephoto shots that make the bridge loom even larger than it already does in life, provide one answer.
Premiere - 8/10 by Ethan AlterThis is one movie that's guaranteed to linger in your mind after you leave the theater, whether you want it to or not.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kenneth TuranBoth a beautiful film and a disturbing one, and the connection between those two characteristics makes it the most disquieting of documentaries.
Portland Oregonian - 8/10 by Marc MohanWhile these interviews are affecting, and the movie talks about suicide in a refreshingly straightforward manner, it's the images of these actual deaths that induce horrified gasps.
New York Post - 8/10 by Lou LumenickA serious, wrenching and oddly poetic documentary.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Mick LaSalleThe real item under consideration here is the movie itself, and the bottom line is that it lands in a humane place. True, any viewer will go in with a certain curiosity, ghoulish or otherwise, about what it's like to jump off a bridge, and yet the overall effect of the film is broadening. To see it is to dread the bridge jumps and to come away with a feeling of compassion and empathy.
The A.V. Club - 7/10 by Nathan RabinThe Bridge packs a visceral emotional wallop. How could it not? But along with plenty of difficult questions, Steel's film leaves a sour, disturbing aftertaste.
Slate - 7/10 by Dana StevensYou leave The Bridge with a new appreciation for your (relative) mental stability and a vow to make the most of your brief, ephemeral life.
The New York Times - 7/10 by Stephen HoldenThis eerie and indelible documentary about suicide juxtaposes transcendent beauty with personal tragedy.
Variety - 7/10 by Dennis HarveyCompelling result is handled with enough dignified artistry to quell most fears of exploitation.
