4/5
"These men have a point of view, plenty of them in fact, they just may not make sense to mere civilians. And that's as it should be."
Filmcritic.com
Chris Barsanti
"A moving, very personal document, one that's as revealing as it is disturbing."
Portland Tribune
Dawn Taylor
B-
"The apolitical film serves us well for its candor."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
"Nowhere is 'The War Tapes' preachy, nor does it attempt an easy political assessment although it cannot be termed apolitical."
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Donald J. Levit
3/5
"Plenty of money for big businesses in Operation Iraqi Freedom but little moral or financial support for returning troops and their traumas."
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
3/4
"The direct-cinema authenticity that a soldier's eye gives to this largely street-fought war...lends
The War Tapes
its primary strength."
Perihelion Journal
Jay Antani
3.5/5
"As a chronicle of the war in Iraq, so far
The War Tapes
has no equal in candor or in its access to the front lines."
Film-Forward.com
Kent Turner
3/4
"Obligatory scenes with unhappy girlfriends, wives, and mothers waiting for their loved ones at home don't have the same impact as the film's uniquely personal perspective on American progress (or lack thereof) in Iraq."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
7/10
"War is up close and personal as soldiers film it from their helmets and gun turrets and delight in $56 feasts of Halliburton ham and eggs."
