Waltz with Bashir Ratings & Reviews
diego.574
April 10, 2025
At times you forget it's an animated film; it's beautifully told and makes you reflect on how harsh and tortuous all those damn wars are.
Newsweek
David Ansen
These depictions of the dementia of war have a hallucinatory power that can stand alongside those of Apocalypse Now.
TIME Magazine
Mary Corliss
The message of the futility of war has rarely been painted with such bold strokes.
Variety
Leslie Felperin
Special, strange and peculiarly potent.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
A dreamy, animated psycho-documentary.
Detroit News
Tom Long
A wholly original and emotionally devastating animated documentary confessional.
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
Animation may be the ideal medium for replicating dreams, and in this unsettling feature by Ari Folman it also proves well suited to autobiography.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
It is powerful because this work of art also provides such a cautionary tale about the psychic burdens young soldiers carry deep inside them decades after they've laid down their weapons.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
A brave, personal and truly original piece of filmmaking.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
A unique, Oscar-nominated 'animated documentary' that uses graphic-novel-style animation to deal with the Israeli army's participation in the Lebanon war of 1982.
Film.com
Jonathan F. Richards
The flatness and stiff, jerky movement of the drawing contribute to the dreamlike, increasing dread-filled atmosphere of the visuals, which burst finally into actual filmed images of devastating impact.
Dallas Morning News
Tom Maurstad
It's a fearless and unblinking march into the heart of one man's darkness and the pain and anguish of generations and nations.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
The film looks ripped straight from Folman's psyche and placed in a theater near you.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
A powerful, poignant and provocative film, told in an unconventional and effective fashion.
Washington Post
John Anderson
Waltz With Bashir, a movie about memory, is as devious and subversive as it is brilliant and nightmarish.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
An extraordinary achievement, Ari Folman's Waltz With Bashir is a detective story as well as an moral inquiry into the specific horrors of one war, and one man's buried memories of that war.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
A transcendent shattering of what viewers should expect from traditional animation or the standard documentary film. Ari Folman's dream-like journey into his own memory is a must-see.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Bashir wasn't healing for me. On the contrary, it leaves much unresolved, but in the pacifist, passive horror recovered by its amnesiacs, I found it stunning -- in both meanings of the word -- and emotionally cathartic.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Folman is an Israeli documentarian who has not worked in animation. Now he uses it as the best way to reconstruct memories, fantasies, hallucinations, possibilities, past and present. This film would be nearly impossible to make any other way.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Complex, challenging and at times difficult to watch, Waltz With Bashir is nevertheless wholly unique, unquestionably powerful and, ultimately, a devastating indictment of war and its effects on its victims and its participants.
