Jackson's spare, quietly powerful sophomore feature demonstrates an impressive control of mood and tone and the ability to tell a story largely without words. August 4, 2014 | Full Review…

There's minimalist filmmaking that's quietly intriguing, and then there's emotional detachment that's stultifying to the point of being nap-inducing. War Story falls into the latter category. August 1, 2014 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

In Keener's hands, the collapse feels urgent but not unhinged, and Lee's trajectory from steely and determined to openly distraught lends an otherwise meandering film a strong core. July 31, 2014 | Full Review…

Catherine Keener rarely gets the chance to grab the spotlight all for herself. That makes this turgid drama especially disappointing. July 31, 2014 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

So often does Catherine Keener play snappish or smart-mouthed characters that it's startling to see her behaving so tired and ragged throughout much of War Story. July 31, 2014 | Rating: B- | Full Review…

With War Story, I think it's safe to say Jackson's found the storytelling niche of a rising auteur, and he plans to stay there. June 26, 2020 | Full Review…

The beauty and sadness of 'War Story' is ... in its willingness to be terrifying, and then its ability to be terrifying without actually raising your pulse. May 26, 2020 | Full Review…

Indie dramas don't get much more oppressively dreary than War Story, a film every bit as distinctive and exciting as its generic title suggests. July 31, 2014 | Rating: 1.5/5 | Full Review…

Infuriatingly slow, enervating and basically empty contemplation of war's impact, and a waste of the formidable talent of a gallant Catherine Keener. July 30, 2014 | Full Review…
