Reviews

Austin Chronicle -
Youve heard of guerrilla warfare? Buffalo Soldiers is all about guerilla capitalism.

|
Chicago Sun-Times -
The film is filled with spot-on performances, by Harris, Glenn, Phoenix, and by Paquin, who has grown up after her debut in "The Piano" to become one of the most gifted actresses of her generation--particularly in tricky, emotion-straddling roles like this one.

|
Film Threat -
The scripts extremely well written, the direction flawless, and the performances -- especially by the fantastic Joaquin Phoenix, gobsmacking.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer -
In some ways it suffers from the same unredemptive afflictions as Elwood and his gang: It's a bit flaccid and flabby and lumbers gracelessly along without self awareness or humanity.

Village Voice -
In its post-Vietnam cynicism, Buffalo Soldiers feels almost avant-garde.
