A war photographer who recently endured a brutal detainment in Libya holes up in Sicily to come to terms with her ordeal, not far from the home of her former lover and mentor. Soon she crosses paths with a Tunisian migrant in need of an abortion and safe passage to France, who bears a striking resemblance to a Libyan girl Lee photographed just before her capture.
Leave your thoughts about War Story.
| VarietyScott FoundasAnchored by Keener’s understated, psychologically acute performance, director Mark Jackson’s spare, quietly powerful sophomore feature demonstrates an impressive control of mood and tone and the ability to tell a story largely without words. |
| NewsBlazePrairie MillerExemplary actress Keener, through no fault of her own, is stuck in this sulky melodrama as a photographer scarred in war torn Libya. As for that conflict, forget about it. This could just as well be about deep depression brought on by a bad hair day. |
| AV ClubJesse HassengerJackson’s technique is undercut, if only a little, by story and characters that sometimes cross the line from minimalist to just plain underdeveloped. Yet as a formal exercise that gives Keener the space to really inhabit her character, War Story is effective. |
| The Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyFronted by an outstanding performance from Catherine Keener, who is onscreen, often by herself, at almost every moment, this challenging but not difficult second feature from Mark Jackson parcels out its information in gradual increments, forcing the viewer to infer rather simply receive most narrative information. |
| Village VoiceSerena DonadoniJackson and co-screenwriter Kristin Gore prize ambiguity, allowing for cathartic revelations but no easy resolutions. |
| The Film StageJordan RaupWar Story provides a refreshingly specific, restrained story of loss and recovery in the boundaries of battle. |
| The GuardianChris MichaelJackson is wise to keep Keener's pushy, desperate Lee in centre focus. |
| Screen InternationalMark AdamsA dense and taut drama, a study on post-traumatic stress disorder that at its best is strikingly tense and heavy with sadness. |
| The PlaylistRodrigo PerezElusively told to the point of irritation, joyless and shot in chilly incarcerating rooms, War Story has the look and feel of an exhausted ashtray and borders on the pretentiously unclear. |
| Slant MagazineClayton DillardMark Jackson's direction strips much of the agency from any character's grasp by insisting that their dilemmas can only be revealed with stone-faced austerity. |
