Reviews

Empire -
A smart, accessible, surprisingly balanced look at our dysfunctional world. Compelling stuff.
|
|
Austin Chronicle -
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.
|
|
Entertainment Weekly -
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.

|
Charlotte Observer -
All true, but not new -- and not especially compelling.
|
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
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.
