Chicago Sun-Times - Richard Roeper
Kate Mara delivers one of the best performances of her career in the title role.
75
The Film Stage - John Fink
The film celebrates warriors of all species, providing a subtle pro-military message that’s free from the rousing pomp one comes to expect from the genre.
75
Movie Nation - Roger Moore
Mara delivers the movie’s emotional punches like a prize-fighter, utterly selling us on the notion that this cold, remote and guarded member of the working class walking wounded has found her true love in the one guy who needs her, sticks with her and saves her life.
75
San Francisco Chronicle - Mick LaSalle
One-half of an unremarkable war movie, followed by a touching story about the importance of animals in people’s lives. Fortunately, the stronger part is saved for last.

The Hollywood Reporter - Sheri Linden
Bringing their real-life story to the screen, director Gabriela Cowperthwaite has made a movie about soldiers that's not, strictly speaking, a war film. She's made a love story, one that's all the more heartstring-tugging for its cogent restraint.
