American Son Ratings & Reviews
Apollo Guide
Brian Webster
The sort of movie that folks who are addicted to a Tom Cruise-style action sequence every three minutes might dismiss as one in which "nothing happens."
Filmcritic.com
David Thomas
ends up being one of the strongest entries in the growing list of films about Iraq even though, ultimately, it probably doesn't belong on that list at all.
PopMatters
Bill Gibron
American Son is one of the few modern takes on the material that never once apologizes for its warrior-in-waiting.
Cinema Signals
Jules Brenner
Meticulously crafted, low-budget, excellently performed character piece that resonates with integrity as it shows us one more example of what an American son looks like.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Though well acted and occasionally poignant, this coming of age story of a black soldier on leave is too familiar and conventional to play in competition in a fest like Sundance.
EricDSnider.com
Eric D. Snider
Blessed with a powerful, honest screenplay.
IGN Movies
Todd Gilchrist
This soldier's story proves interesting but insubstantial.
The Hollywood Reporter
Duane Byrge
Stirringly told, American Son dramatizes a harsh social reality and tributes this nation's fighting force.
Variety
Justin Chang
This is conventional dramatic material played with an occasionally heavy hand, but sculpted with care and quiet assurance by helmer Neil Abramson.
Movie Views
Ryan Cracknell
Several anti-war films have come along in the past couple of years calling out the war in Iraq. They've covered various conspiracies, big personalities and the front lines. But, perhaps, none have been as human as Neil Abramson's American Son.
L.A. Weekly
Luke Y. Thompson
It may be the first Iraq war-related movie that can equally appeal to both left and right
