Fort Bliss Ratings & Reviews
Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack)
Marya E. Gates
A complex character study of world often depicted only from the male perspective is well worth your time, especially for Monaghan's raw performance
Cinemacy
Morgan Rojas
The script lacks the precise authenticity needed to give this film its staying power.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Fort Bliss is a small film, but it addresses big issues, in ways that are never simplistic or dogmatic.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
"Fort Bliss" joins "Coming Home" and "The Best Years of Our Lives" as a movie deeply in sync, not just with the military characters it depicts, but also with the civilian world that awaits them with such confoundingly mixed messages.
The Hollywood Reporter
Jordan Mintzer
[A] well-observed and endearing account of one woman grappling with allegiances to her fellow soldiers and her estranged 5-year-old son.
Slate
Dana Stevens
Maggie's agonizing zero-sum struggle to balance a life of military service and a steady relationship with her son feels fresh, raw, and real.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
[Myers] is good at capturing the revealing, offhand moments in this story, but Maggie's conflicts about motherhood and the military needed a greater psychological scope than this film provides.
Examiner.com
Travis Hopson
There aren't a lot of fireworks or surprises in Fort Bliss, but it's a well-told story that pays respect to our men and women in uniform.
Variety
Justin Chang
Even when the plotting feels strained or inauthentic, the Asche & Spencer score a mite too insistent, Monaghan's performance rings true.
We Got This Covered
Jordan Adler
Michelle Monaghan elevates an uneven, yet gripping story of a staff sergeant feeling the tug of war in Fort Bliss.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Led by a moving performance from Michelle Monaghan, the film carries heaviness with sensitivity, more interested in the pains of post-service reentry than the usual pressures of a war zone.
Los Angeles Times
Martin Tsai
An unflinching and complex character study of an imperfect woman juggling motherhood and her determination to succeed among men.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
Ms. Myers too often tells rather than shows, and she doesn't have the cinematic skill set to transform her idea into a fully satisfying movie, especially at this low-budget level.
Slant Magazine
Carson Lund
The complicated psychological realities of army personnel require a tougher directorial treatment than the maudlin melodrama presented here.
AV Club
Jesse Hassenger
The non-Monaghan parts of Fort Bliss tend to go watery.
Village Voice
Michael Nordine
A returning-soldier drama that answers the annoyingly ubiquitous "Can women have it all?" question with an exasperated "no."
