Reviews

Salon -
Home of the Brave isn't exactly a subtle or a delicate picture -- it's an old-fashioned Hollywood movie, at least in tone, that's being released like an indie -- but it has some terrific acting and comes straight from the heart.

The Hollywood Reporter -
Timeliness is all very well, but the significant subject matter cries out for a defter directorial touch and a deeper complexity in regard to the characters and performances.
|
|
Entertainment Weekly -
Evenness of political keel, combined with a generic filmmaking style, is an artistic weapon way too puny for a successful assault on so tough, bruising, and crucial a subject.

ReelViews -
Had Home of the Brave presented credible stories about believable characters, it might have been a powerful drama.
|
|
Christian Science Monitor -
Home of the Brave is a milestone of sorts. But it's a formulaic, overacted piece of work that rarely delves deep.
