"Just didn’t like it. Not sure why it was made. Just not for me. "

"Extremely long, some would say burning. Kind of a mix between a drama and a documentary. Very well made. One of my all time favorite movies. Surprising casting. A few semi well known supporting actors you wouldn’t expect. Casey Affleck plays whiny fanboy perfectly. Brad Pitt plays confident paranoid leader wonderfully. "

Andy Brough

"One of the most powerful movies of all time. Casey Affleck’s performance is particularly remarkable. "

Paige Graham

"Good movie to watch if you can’t find anything else."

Luke Xerras

"AMAZING CINEMATOGRAPHY "

"Beautifully narrated, stylistically captivating. Like I am watching a book, if that makes any sense - The novels Robert collected read out loud. With glimpses of a reader's imagination seen though the lens of chromatic abberation. Pace is slower than expected, but enjoyed it nonetheless "

Karen Lo

"The writing in this movie is just beautiful. My Dad introduced me to this movie and I love the narrator’s voice. I’ve watched this so many times that it’s practically a comfort movie for me at this point. "
