Reviews

  • A classic war film, at once elegiac and immediate, that takes you smack into the chaos of combat yet is marked by a detached perspective.

    Kevin Thomas - Los Angeles Times

  • A story about the ravages of one war on a single man's soul and psyche becomes an eloquent plea for peace.

    Jay Carr - The Boston Globe

    19 January 2013

  • Intense, autobiographically based drama.

    Lisa Schwarzbaum - Entertainment Weekly

  • Perhaps more than any war film in recent memory, Kippur is about the actual work of combat.

    Ken Fox - TV Guide

    19 January 2013

  • Both a blood-churning war movie and a mind-stirring antiwar movie, focusing not on guts and glory but on the stark realities of real battlefield experience.
