The Messenger
Topic: Arts 9:39 pm EST, Nov 29, 2009

Have you seen "The Messenger"?

Mick LaSalle:

When 2009 is over, this is one of the movies we'll remember the year by.

Owen Gleiberman:

It becomes a wake-up call to those of us for whom the Iraq war has, too often, seemed a numbing series of television images, with death relegated to a background statistic.

Roger Ebert:

All particular stories are universal, inviting us to look in instead of pandering to us. This one looks at the faces of war. Only a few, but they represent so many.

Peter Travers:

That's why The Messenger hits so hard. Its truths are personal. It means to shake you. And does.

David Denby:

This is a fully felt, morally alert, marvellously acted piece of work.

"The Messenger" joins the group of strong Iraq-war movies that, like rejected suitors, stand hat in hand, waiting for an audience to notice their virtues.

Claudia Puig:

It serves as a powerful companion piece to The Hurt Locker, the most powerful movie about the Iraq War and one of the year's best.

David Foster Wallace:

If you've never wept and want to, have a child.

Skyler Preszler:

Mom, we killed women on the street today. We killed kids on bikes. We had no choice.

Elizabeth Rubin:

It didn't take long to understand why so many soldiers were taking antidepressants.
