Reviews

The Hollywood Reporter -
Clint Eastwood's Flags of Our Fathers does a most difficult and brave thing and does it brilliantly. It is a movie about a concept. Not just any concept but the shop-worn and often wrong-headed idea of "heroism."
|
|
Time -
Clint Eastwood has crafted a bold and meticulous epic.
|
|
Village Voice -
To an extent, Flags of Our Fathers is to the WWII movie what Eastwood's Unforgiven was to the western -- a stripping-away of mythology until only a harsher, uncomfortable reality remains.
|
|
Variety -
Ambitiously tackling his biggest canvas to date, Clint Eastwood continues to defy and triumph over the customary expectations for a film career in Flags of Our Fathers.
|
|
Newsweek -
An epic both raw and contemplative, is neither a flag-waving war movie nor a debunking.
