Lisa Kennedy Variety 7h
The credits begin their roll with Jimmy Ruffin’s aching ballad “What Becomes of the Brokenhearted?” playing. Like Emanuel and his comrades, Harper and his film go a meaningful way in asking and offering an answer to that plaint. Go to Full Review Elizabeth Weitzman TheWrap 1d
Long overdue, and exceptionally moving. Go to Full Review Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter 1d
At first this conceit, entwining the otherworldly intensity of war with the everyday, feels self-conscious. But the poetic leaps gather emotional force as the film proceeds. Go to Full Review Christian Gallichio The Playlist 1d
B
Like many Vietnam stories, the film openly contends with the futility of the war, questioning the larger purpose behind it and how it affected these specific men. The film’s greatest strength, then, is in that specificity and its historical corrective. Go to Full Review Travis Hopson Punch Drunk Critics 1d
4/5
A profoundly affecting story of the first all-Black spec-ops team during the Vietnam War. Go to Full Review Amber Wilkinson Screen International 1d
Although the Vietnam War and US civil rights history will hold more resonance for American audiences, the moving first-person testimony about the long shadow of conflict strikes a universal note that may interest specialist distributors elsewhere. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
