(1 - 34) of 34 OFCS Rating: 100% Fresh Page   1   A+ "This is the most culturally significant documentary imaginable and should be mandatory for repeated viewing by all public officials the world over."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey 4/4 "Morris uses McNamara's long life and firsthand experience to indicate how technology has made the ethics of war much more difficult to tread."   Kansas City Star   Dan Lybarger 3/4 "Virtuoso documentarian Errol Morris once again brings out the best (and a little bit of the worst) in his subject, this time former Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara."   Movie Boeuf   David N. Butterworth 3/4 "...should appeal to history buffs and neophytes alike..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair B "Admittedly this was a fascinating watch despite my reservations about the interview."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz "A unified and most sobering lesson."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Donald J. Levit B+ "What McNamara says may not shake me to my very soul, but it's assembled as sharply and savvily as a documentary-viewer could want."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B- "Interesting enough, but hardly a work of documentarial integrity -- for my part, I wanted to physically shield McNamara from Morris's mischievous slash-and-burn."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov A- "Compelling, thoughtful and moving...easily one of the best documentaries in a year that's been rich with exceptional examples of them."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "An exceptionally relevant and morally thought provoking documentary about America's immoral use of the weapons of mass destruction."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat B "A carefully calibrated, endlessly fascinating example of humanity at odds with itself."   Mixed Reviews   Gabriel Shanks 3.5/4 "By asking the right questions and guiding the interview into compelling territory, Morris has produced one of 2003's most memorable documentaries."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 5/5 "a deeply felt testament of a man struggling to wring meaning and redemption out of history’s hard, unyielding surfaces"   Los Angeles Alternative   Jay Antani 3.5/4 "This architect of war cum elder statesman directly benefits from Morris’ curiously stylish effort, making for enduringly captivating cinema."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 10/10 "The images and music combine with McNamara's voice and expressions to create a tapestry of a life lived toughly through a world that has looked over the edge at hell itself."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 4/5 "The Fog of War has a central figure who himself is shrouded in a fog of mystery -- and the “truth” becomes harder to decipher or even intuit."   Filmcritic.com   Jeremiah Kipp 54/100 "Armchair philosophers might find truths about human nature in this bait and switch, but promises to stringently examine McNamara’s strategic decisions left me feeling slighted"   MovieMartyr.com   Jeremy Heilman A- "an intimate glimpse inside the inner circles of the government"   Old School Reviews   John A. Nesbit 4.5/5 "Sobering, alarming, and fascinating."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3/5 "His accounts are thought provoking and timely."   Film-Forward.com   Kent Turner 3.5/4 "Morris’ recent win of the Best Documentary Oscar was well deserved."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest B "Truly remarkable - a history lesson, a mea culpa and one last chance to discuss a pivotal era with someone who was actually there."   FilmStew.com   Larry Carroll A- "The Fog of War is one of the most stylistically stunning of Morris's works"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3.5/4 "War is so complex that there's no way to see through to any single, objective explanation"   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes "Oh, how I wish we could force the current administration to experience [this film], Clockwork Orange-style if necessary..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson A- "A fascinating look into the mind of one of 20th century America's most controversial military figures"   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager 4.5/5 "This is a beautifully produced film, expertly edited with a haunting Philip Glass score and statistics that are meaningful and extremely disturbing."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline A "It should be required viewing for Bush and Rumsfeld."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B+ "[Errol] Morris only gives us one, biased viewpoint in his document of American history but it is a succinct, clearly told memoir by a remarkable man..."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf A Read review   Movie Mom at Yahoo!
