Movie Reviews

Apollo Guide - 10/10 by Brian WebsterThe story is powerful, the script intelligent, the cinematography beautiful and the performances nearly flawless.
Variety - 10/10 by Variety StaffThe intent and outward trappings are all impressively in place, but at its heart there's something missing.
Film.com - 10/10 by John HartlThe director, Roland Joffe, and his photographer, Chris Menges, capture all of this with a realism that hasn't been so poetically convincing in a nondocumentary context since Gillo Pontecorvo's Battle of Algiers.
Washington Post - 10/10 by Paul AttanasioThe Killing Fields is the best movie about journalism since "All the President's Men," re-creating with an understated ease the atmosphere of the poolside bonhomie of the correspondents, the mechanics of getting and filing a story, and the moral quandaries of a reporter's professional detachment.
Los Angeles Alternative - 10/10 by Jay AntaniOne of the most potent politically-charged dramas ever made, managing to honor both the epic and the intimate aspects of its drama. One of the top films of the '80s.
Kansas City Kansan - 10/10 by Steve CrumPowerful, unsettling, factual; Oscar caliber acting all around.
The Associated Press - 10/10 by Bob ThomasRoland Joffé's 1984 masterwork is a solid piece of historical film-making, capturing factual detail without sacrificing fine storytelling.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertOne of the risks taken by The Killing Fields is to cut loose from that tradition, to tell us a story that does not have a traditional Hollywood structure, and to trust that we'll find the characters so interesting that we won't miss the cliché. It is a risk that works, and that helps make this into a really affecting experience.
Creative Loafing - 10/10 by Matt BrunsonOne of the great films from what proved to be a great year for cinema, The Killing Fields hasn't lost any of its power over the ensuing 30 years.
Empire - 10/10 by Ian NathanA mighty accomplishment, and possibly the bravest Britflick yet made.
