Stop-Loss Ratings & Reviews
MSNBC
Alonso Duralde
But whatever you think about the Iraq war and the people who are fighting in it, you'll be shaken up and moved by Stop-Loss.
I.E. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
Stop-Loss misses emotional beats and hammers home its frustration; yet in a week where we've lost our 4,000th soldier, its impatience is a virtue.
The New Yorker
David Denby
Stop-Loss is not a great movie, but it's forceful, effective, and alive, with the raw, mixed-up emotions produced by an endless war -- a time when the patriotism of military families is in danger of being exploited beyond endurance.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
The power of Stop-Loss -- and this is no dumb joke -- is that it shows its hero between Iraq and a hard place.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
[A] very worthy film.
Boxoffice Magazine
Tim Cogshell
The film manages to walk a line that is not antiwar in the main, but is distinctly pro-soldier, and thus takes pains to speak to the plight of the American serviceperson.
Wall Street Journal
Joanne Kaufman
Swamped by clichés, continuity problems, stock characters and very good intentions.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Stop-Loss can't quite decide whether to focus on making a powerful statement on a controversial and unfamiliar military policy or on a more predictable drama about the traumatic effect of war on young people's lives.
TIME Magazine
Richard Schickel
As a nation, we owe them more than they owe us -- as this painfully necessary and heartfelt movie makes abundantly clear.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Though it's no Boys Don't Cry, there's something about Stop-Loss that haunts you: Peirce has an uncanny way of catching the fierce light in her actors' eyes.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Clearly, Peirce's motives are pure. She's not using the 'stop-loss' issue as a wedge to make the government or the administration look bad. She's using it to dramatize an injustice and to advocate on behalf of the soldiers.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
While it would be premature to decorate it as the Best Years of Our Lives or Coming Home of the Surge, Stop-Loss carries the emotional force and propulsive drama of the quintessential soldier's story.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
After five years of news footage and documentaries coming from the war in Iraq, Stop-Loss is as phony as a re-enactment with finger pup pets.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Viewers of any age are bound to be moved by [director Peirce's] primary theme: that there is no easy cure for these damaged young veterans, whether they return to war or fight their demons at home.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Stop-Loss is a film that does it right.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
It's more a sweaty assemblage of dramatic high-points than a coherent, persuasive story of wounded warriors trying to make it.
Detroit News
Tom Long
There's a keen and ugly sense of anguish to Stop-Loss, a caged sense of powerlessness beyond political outrage that makes this film far and away the most effective effort yet at capturing the frustration of the war in Iraq.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Anchored by deft performances from a sturdy ensemble, Stop-Loss provides proof of Peirce's sensitivity with actors as well as her interest in stories of American folk who don't often get the close-ups they should.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
Stop-Loss tries to be about so many things that it addresses none of them adequately.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Though its intentions are noble, it's hampered by a stock romantic subplot, a familiar structure, and a lack of symmetry.
