Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
[Haggis'] self-serious tone becomes wearisome, and he fails to explore how the military failed its men while clumsily laying a guilt trip at its feet.
– Bruce Westbrook,
Houston Chronicle,
21 Sep 2007
fresh:
In the Valley of Elah is another in a long line of great Tommy Lee Jones performances.
– Roger Moore,
Orlando Sentinel,
21 Sep 2007
rotten:
The failure to avoid pat answers and cheap grandstanding dogs Haggis here as surely as it did in the overrated Crash, and robs In the Valley of Elah of much of its power.
– Peter Howell,
Toronto Star,
21 Sep 2007
rotten:
The movie isn't nearly as obvious or redundant as writer-director Paul Haggis's previous film, the Oscar-winning Crash, but it still feels like the work of someone trying too hard to enlighten you.
– Rene Rodriguez,
Miami Herald,
22 Sep 2007
fresh:
This is Jones' show and he makes you feel a father's fear and loss in ways that are subtly heartbreaking, never melodramatic.
