Apollo Guide
Dan Jardine

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
2.5/4
"
No Man's Land
may end with an honest blip yet its history is remiss."
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
3/4
"
No Man's Land
does not carry the same impact as the heavyweight war torn social consciousness satires such as
M*A*S*H
, but it does sway in that direction as an ardently funny antiwar statement with a sense of chaotic artistry."
Movie Eye
Frank Ochieng
B
"The bracing nature of the humor, the energy of the direction and the authenticity of the performances go far to mitigate its weaknesses."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
"A vivid and unforgettable film about the insanity of war and the dreadful things it can do to those who drench themselves in hate and violence."
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

"Tanovic makes
Land
accessible and compelling enough for audiences everywhere to appreciate."
Planet Sick-Boy
Jon Popick
3.5/4
"No es una cinta de guerra heroica, sino todo lo contrario, y esto de refleja perfectamente en la escena final, que es de una incredulidad indescriptible."
Moviola
Jorge Avila Andrade

"We learn absolutely nothing about the ideologies of these people or their reasons for fighting. They are virtually interchangeable..."

""No Man's Land" makes it's message go down with a laugh before it sucker punches you."
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
"Tense and, ultimately, emotionally devastating,
No Man's Land
uses the blackest of humor to create the most subtle of satires."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
3.5/4
"While the audience has its laughs along the way, the violent tension of war often threatens to erupt, and slowly, subtly gathering force is the film's emotional weight."
Mr. Brown's Movies
Michael Dequina

"A very good, award-worthy film."
Goatdog's Movies
