Whatever you think of the film, Body of War stirs up real admiration for its subject.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 18, 2008

[Tomas Young] deserves better treatment from the government than he's gotten as a returning veteran, and a better movie than this simpleminded indictment of every senator who voted 'yea.'

| May 16, 2008

Body of War again demonstrates that we Americans still have some bitter truths to face.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 16, 2008

It is not merely an antiwar document, but a complex profile in courage of a paraplegic and patriot.

Body of War makes no bones about its activism. Then again, like the others, it's the willingness to contextualize events and apply reason to them that makes it and others so valuable.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 25, 2008

A tough, affecting documentary about an American soldier in the Iraq war.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 18, 2008

A chance to witness the struggles of a remarkable young man. Young may be paralyzed in the body, but his mind is fiercely alive.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Apr 18, 2008

Editor Bernadine Colish weaves together all that C-SPAN footage into a disturbing procedural indictment.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 11, 2008

What makes Body Of War such a powerful documentary isn't the clever rhetorical device of debate vs. reality, but the way it documents American life in the '00s.

Lazy, shallow and repetitive, Phil Donahue's Body of War is one of the most incompetent documentaries to emerge from the Iraq war.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 9, 2008

Drenched in emotion and suffused with good intentions, Body of War is impossible not to like, but difficult to admire.

| Original Score: B- | Apr 9, 2008

Body of War is a gut-wrenching documentary experience.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 6, 2008

Architecturally sound, emotionally ravaging.

| Apr 3, 2008

Makes for a good anti-war doc, to be sure, but an even finer -- and painfully accurate -- portrait of the former soldier as a young man.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 20, 2008

A powerful argument against impetuous decisions, be they to join the military or to attack a country.
