Critic Reviews for A Marine Story

All Critics (5) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (3) | Rotten (2)

  • An impartial look at U.S. military service that movingly commands respect for the personnel while requiring neither support nor assigning blame for the politics behind unpopular war efforts

    November 29, 2010

    Dennis Harvey

    Variety

  • Sustained by Weber's strong presence, "A Marine Story" overcomes some flaws in continuity and superficial characterizations to drive home its underlying message about the injustice of "don't ask, don't tell"...

    November 11, 2010 | Rating: 3.5/5

    Kevin Thomas

    Los Angeles Times

  • Ms. Weber (Mr. Farr's wife) anchors the movie with a gritty, honest performance that has the same to-the-bone quality as Melissa Leo's in Frozen River.

    November 4, 2010 | Rating: 3/5

    Stephen Holden

    New York Times

  • A plodding B-movie that exploits "don't ask, don't tell" with cheap psychology and cheaper thrills.

    Bill Weber

    Slant Magazine

  • Relentlessly clumsy and predictable, A Marine Story is set in late 2008, just as a new political breeze is blowing. But its abrupt, wishful postscript is still just a fairy tale.

Audience Reviews for A Marine Story

  • Mar 27, 2011
    I must say that I am disappointed. I was bored at times, and the rest of the time just uninterested. I thought that the storyline was crap on top of everything else. I guess this just wasn't my cup of tea...
