Leave your thoughts about The Fog of War.
| Kansas City StarDan LybargerMorris uses McNamara's long life and firsthand experience to indicate how technology has made the ethics of war much more difficult to tread. |
| Contra Costa TimesMary F. PolsFilled with worthy, sometimes chilling, lessons from JFK and LBJ's former secretary of defense about warfare and humanity. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonMorris fills [his film with] skewed and crooked angles on McNamara himself -- as if even the camera couldn't get a grasp on the elusive nature of this topic. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleMorris, an ideal combination of journalist and romantic artist, matches footage to the words for maximum illumination and emotional impact. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranNever one to shy away from challenges, Morris has come up with one of the best documentaries of this or any year. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonMcNamara fits perfectly into Morris's canon: He tells a story that knocks you right off your feet. |
| Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)Linda CookI'm dismayed when movies like this come along, because they deserve to be seen. But audiences generally don't give them what they deserve. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip MartinMcNamara makes a very human monster, a flawed man who regrets that "in order to do good you have to be willing to do evil." |
| Detroit Free PressTerry LawsonShould be required viewing for anyone who makes decisions about national defense, if not for everyone. |
| London Evening StandardAntonia QuirkeAlthough Errol Morris's film takes us through the nasty dramas behind various wars, few of McNamara's clarifications come as a surprise. |
