Reviews

The Hollywood Reporter - David Rooney
One of the strengths of Sattler’s screenplay is his refusal to make this a straightforward drama about enemies, injustice or dehumanizing persecution. He makes it about empathy, and in doing so broadens the intimate story to find thematic universality.
70
Variety - Rob Nelson
Camp X-Ray is most commendable for believably depicting the U.S. military from a female’s point of view.
66
Film.com - William Goss
With its painfully plain-spoken conflicts and eventually oversold gestures of kindness, Camp X-Ray may offer frustratingly little insight into the hazy world of wartime morality, but if nothing else, it suggests that Stewart may escape her own “Twilight”-shaped prison yet.

The Telegraph - Unnamed
It is down to the strength of the acting that the film succeeds as far as it does.
60
Village Voice - Alan Scherstuhl
For much of its running time, Camp X-Ray stands as the fullest on-screen imaginative treatment of two of the defining developments of the last 15 years of American life: the deployment of women in our volunteer army, and the indefinite detention of men we think, but can't quite prove, deserve it.
