Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk Ratings & Reviews
Ryezoo
3h ago
Ang Lee threw 8 interceptions and was sacked in the end zone when making this film. This is a massive misfire! I don't think I've ever cringed as many times as I did, then in this movie. The acting is atrocious and unbelievable. Dare I say it, the only performance that I actually kind a liked was the cheerleader and Kristen Stewart. The bravo squad is made up of people who've never acted in their life. It's impossible to get behind any of the characters. Let's talk about the Super Bowl. I understand that they weren't going to pay for the licensing for NFL teams or to actually get Beyoncé, but man this was laughably bad. From the empty stadium at times, to people being able to drive up to inside the gate, for a cheerleader to be able to leave the Super Bowl game to come say goodbye in the fourth quarter, to people that work the crew would try multiple times to engage in a brawl with war veterans. This is ridiculous! The storytelling at least wasn't lied about. That walk to half time is a long boring sludge. Worth noting the brother and sister have a very weird friendship. Also didn't know it was possible to fall in love and want to be with somebody forever within five minutes of meeting them. Watch the trailer, download the great song, never watch this garbage fire of a movie!

Amy Nicholson
Lee's use of High Frame Rate technology becomes a literal window into Billy Lynn's head. We're not supposed to feel comfortable.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
Everything feels stilted and strangely flat.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
A rare dud from two-time Oscar-winning director Ang Lee, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk marches in formation but stirs little awe.
Vox
Emily St. James
This film struggles to translate Fountain's novel into something with its own strong point of view.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
It's all a giant cacophony of artifice masquerading as something important and meaningful.
Newsweek
Tom Shone
For a movie about the aftershocks of battle, Billy Lynn feels curiously tranquil.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
This halftime walk is more like a long slog.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
Visually, the picture gives us almost no room to breathe, which leaves us only a few tight corners in which to feel.
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
[Suffers from an] uneven tone, inelegant editing, and scattered narrative.
Washington Post
Stephanie Merry
Lee might be a pioneer, but what good is that when he leaves his story behind?
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
Ang Lee's unprecedented use of digital technology makes for a hyperreal immersion into the mind of a traumatized soldier.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
The movie doesn't really work. The script is all too faithful to Fountain's florid brand of not-quite-human poetry. The thesis lines thud into place.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
A gifted director ruining a good book by literalizing what a writer made us visualize for ourselves.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Cary Darling
Director Ang Lee has taken the very internal novel by Dallas author Ben Fountain - a work that tries to get into the head of an Iraq War soldier -- and opened it up into a surprisingly effective meditation on a soldier's homefront experience.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tirdad Derakhshani
Overheated, existential melodrama or cool, sharp-edged satire? Despite his genius as a filmmaker, Lee simply can't give us both at the same time.
Seattle Times
Soren Andersen
The acting and script are so strong that the picture is an outstanding achievement even in the 2D version that most people will see.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Taking place mostly over the course of a single day, it's a smart and languorous film that finds time to luxuriate in conversations and to create a feeling for small-town American life.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
It gets the little things wrong - and that matters - but the broad outlines right.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
An interesting story buoyed by good acting that feels - and this is a lazy word but the appropriate one - weird.
