Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
A look at both the tragic folly of war and the camaraderie of men under pressure, the documentary Restrepo holds both hope and horror.

fresh:
The directors were satisfied with telling us about a group of courageous, honorable young soldiers -- a salute these men richly deserve.

rotten:

Restrepo avoids political discussion. It just revels in the heroism of these impossibly young, brave soldiers who follow orders that at times seem pointless because following them is what their country has asked them to do.
