Leave your thoughts about War Photographer.
| Film Freak CentralWalter ChawUplifting as only a document of the worst possibilities of mankind can be, and among the best films of the year. |
| Apollo GuideRyan CracknellPhotographs tell stories, and in this case, they tell more than shots of guys looking for photos. |
| Reel.comTor ThorsenBoth the film and Nachtwey's photos hammer home the grim reality of the world's gutters and battlefields, and will make you question what 'news' really is. |
| New York Magazine/VulturePeter RainerWhat's remarkable is how often the photographer's subjects allow themselves to be caught on film; it's as if they understood implicitly that Nachtwey was there not only to agitate for reform but to memorialize their agony. He does both. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatWar Photographer is a powerful documentary about a gifted and idealistic peace maker in a world torn by conflict, pain and suffering. |
| TheMovieChicks.comCherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann PaloneIf you ever wondered what it would be like to be smack in the middle of a war zone armed with nothing but a camera, this Oscar-nominated documentary takes you there. |
| Dallas Morning NewsWilliam SnyderIt's as close as we'll ever come to looking through a photographer's viewfinder as he works. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA film at once depressing and uplifting--depressing in terms of the sad, often horrifying subjects of Nachtwey's photographs but uplifting in terms of his commitment and integrity. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonFinally, the film answers a question that obviously haunts Nachtwey: Is it immoral, callous or irresponsible to win fame and recognition from images of the terror, death and suffering of others? |
| New York PostLou LumenickA misleadingly bland title for a gripping documentary. |
