- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Brilliant and heartbreaking, takes place in the present but is timeless."
-
"Spellbinding, distressing, and possessed of a dark and terrible beauty."
-
"In all respects, from choice of material to fullness of execution on every level, The War Zone is an extraordinary piece of work."
-
"Showing as much courage and talent behind the camera as he has while acting in front of it, Roth has crafted for his first film one of the most bluntly graphic and disturbing movies ever done on the subject."
-
"Roth, there's no denying, creates considerable suspense out of our desire to confront the forbidden."
