-
"One has to admire the honestly of 'The Killing Fields'. This is the clearest film statement on how the nature of heroism has changed."
-
"An extraordinary Movie! So compelling and convincing you can't tear your eyes from the screen. It is not to be missed."
-
"If you see no more than one film a year, make it this one. Oscar nominations are clearly on the way."
-
"Powerful. Devastating. Deeply Moving. Riveting. Amazing. There is greatness in it. This is not just another movie. It's a profoundly heartbreaking, yet greatly edifying take-home experience. No one with a heart, a mind, and a conscience should even think of missing it."
