Korengal picks up where Restrepo (2010) left off--with the same men, in the same valley, with the same commanders--but presents a very different look at the experience of war.

Korengal Ratings & Reviews
Austin Chronicle
Louis Black
Remarkably frank, Korengal espouses no one clear sentiment towards war.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
Most fascinating is the seemingly unanimous feeling that while deployment in Korengal was hard and heartbreaking, these veterans would do it all again just to stay together, to remain brothers who mutually understand something no on else will ever know.
East Bay Express
Kelly Vance
Reminds us that Americans not very different than ourselves took the military as a job of work.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
Not quite a coda to Sebastian Junger's and Tim Heatherington's...Restrepo - more of a commentary track, or a series of annotations.
Philadelphia Daily News
Gary Thompson
"Korengal" revisits some of the men featured in the original, talking to them stateside about their experiences. They make poignant if not unprecedented insights into the warrior code, and into the complicated lives of stateside veterans.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tirdad Derakhshani
In a series of expertly edited interviews conducted with infantrymen on their way home after a year in the Korengal Valley, Junger exposes us to the war's psychological toll.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
"Restrepo" felt like the story of how boys become men. "Korengal" feels like the story of how strangers become family.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Those of us who haven't served on active duty can't know what it's like. Taken together, "Restrepo" and "Korengal" brings us about as close to the experience as we can, or would want, to get.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
The film is a tribute to the courage, tenacity and sorrow of the men with their boots on the ground in a place very far away.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
They hash out the manifold ordeals of their service, but rarely does anything startlingly new emerge -- which is not to say that the film doesn't have value. War is hell and always will be.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
The first film was for us. This one's for them.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
The focus is on the psychology of wartime existence, descriptions of sights, sounds and feelings, girded by the vrit footage rather than driven by it.
Variety
Justin Chang
Sebastian Junger delivers a worthy companion piece to 'Restrepo' with this more reflective dispatch from the front lines of Afghanistan.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
"Korengal" is a collective meditation on military life by many of the same men, looking back on their time in Afghanistan.
The Dissolve
David Ehrlich
[As] a sequel [to Restrepo], the film provides an illuminating counterpoint [...] unpacking "survival" as a process, where it was previously just a noun.
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
Korengal deals with memories rather than realities, and yet leaves those memories unexamined.
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
The film is passionate, but not exactly revelatory.
Village Voice
Chris Packham
More conventional, but more introspective than its predecessor.
The New Yorker
David Denby
As a record of the war, the two films are imperishable.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
The result is an alternately gripping and dully meandering patchwork of these soldiers' stay in the Korengal that pointedly shuns big-picture philosophizing.
