Reviews

Empire - Unnamed
A smart, accessible, surprisingly balanced look at our dysfunctional world. Compelling stuff.
78
Austin Chronicle - Steve Davis
Despite its flaws, which become more evident as time elapses, Lions for Lambs is worth seeing for no other reason that you’ve never seen anything like it before.
75
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
The tiny scale and armchair talkiness mark the movie as a bit of a folly, an act of idealistic hubris in today's commercial marketplace, yet that's its (minor) fascination too.
63
Charlotte Observer - Lawrence Toppman
All true, but not new -- and not especially compelling.
50
The Hollywood Reporter - Ray Bennett
Politicians, the media, educators, military commanders and a docile public all come under fire in a well-made movie that offers no answers but raises many important questions.
