Waltz with Bashir Reviews
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.
Detroit News
Tom Long
A wholly original and emotionally devastating animated documentary confessional.
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.
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
The look of Waltz with Bashir is what is most arresting. It's a deep, multi-plane style of animation that incorporates photo-real settings, realistic renderings of the people and under-animated movement, especially of faces.
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
Waltz With Bashir isn't only a harrowing anti-war plea, it is also an eloquent and deeply moving argument that it is critical to never forget human atrocity, lest the past be repeated.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
A powerful, poignant and provocative film, told in an unconventional and effective fashion.
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.
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.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
The film looks ripped straight from Folman's psyche and placed in a theater near you.
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.
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.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
A dreamy, animated psycho-documentary.
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.
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.
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.
Washington Post
John Anderson
Waltz With Bashir, a movie about memory, is as devious and subversive as it is brilliant and nightmarish.
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.
