Reviews

“Deeply troubling and appropriately ambiguous, A War is a fine and sobering movie.” – Movie Habit

“A War confirms the darkest, least mentionable secret of traumatized veterans-that what haunts them is not just what they saw and what was done unto them, but what they did.” – Vulture

“While most Hollywood movies are so afraid of moral ambiguity that you'd think the old-school Production Code was in effect, here's a story that eschews easy answers and forces audiences to examine their own consciences while the characters do likewise.” – TheWrap
