Courtney avoids all political posturing here, something rare in modern war documentaries. These are the guys, American kids. This is the war, it's awful. And this is what happens. In your own backyard. September 30, 2011 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

The documentary sometimes feels like the work of a filmmaker who began with a preconceived story and wasn't quite sure what to do with the one she actually got. September 15, 2011 | Full Review…

In its compassionate, modest gaze, the real cost of distant political decisions is softly illuminated, as well as the shame of a country with little to offer its less fortunate young people than a ticket to a battlefield. September 9, 2011 | Rating: 4/5

To see these children of waitresses, salon workers and fathers on disability burdened because they stepped up is humanizing and heartbreaking. September 9, 2011 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Its scope is both limited and intimate, a quality that is both to its credit and its detriment. But it is very much an essential document of the times we live in. August 5, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Courtney has crafted a visual tour de force as she links the idyllic small-town existence of the all-for-one warriors with the arid, untameable terrain of ugly conflict. November 2, 2011 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review…

The young men at the center of the film have obnoxious personalities and it takes a great deal of patience to follow their journeys. September 22, 2011 | Rating: 1.5/5

An understated, delicately anthropological real-life coming-of-age tale. Not for all tastes, but these stories, alas, are the new back stories of many individual American tragedies and triumphs yet to be written. September 17, 2011 | Rating: B | Full Review…

Intriguing, personal war docu, about small-town soldiers stuck between boyhood and manhood; a good companion piece to the fictionalized The Deer Hubter, to which this work makes reference. September 13, 2011 | Rating: A- | Full Review…
