"[It] is a superb piece of work, made by a master of the form, yet I'm not quite sure how much I like it. By design, it's a purposely-unsatisfying contraption."

"[It] could do with some editing (indeed, the parenthetical in the title refers to its unshaped state), but there's just as little doubt that Nemescu's work is pretty worthy as is."

"The equation of sanctioned and unsanctioned barbarism in the climactic moments of Casualties is about as damning an indictment of the way that humanity justifies immoral acts during war as I've seen."

"It must be noted that the movie demands some degree of resolve from its audience, and it promises no simple resolutions in return. This will trouble some, yet one can't call its rigorously factual approach dishonest or cheaply manipulative."
