Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk's reviews
Media reviews
Rolling Stone
Billy Lynn comes off as artificial when we most need it to be natural, organic and whisper-close.
Fotogramas
It is a failed experiment, an unstructured satire too artificial, confused and with multiple axes of denunciation that don't end up acquiring a true metaphorical character.
The Guardian
A rare misstep for the Oscar-winning director is an adaptation of Ben Fountain?s acclaimed novel flattened by ill-fitting experimentation with new technology
Roger Ebert
Used in a standard dramatic movie like ?Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk,? the technique engulfs the viewer?s eye in a surfeit of razor-sharp detail that entail, quite literally, too much information.
Variety
It opens the door to a new way for movies to be shot, a new way for them to look and feel, a new way for them to be experienced.
New York Times
This is not exactly a rare war-movie notion, but ?Billy Lynn?s Long Halftime Walk? explores it with gentleness rather than sentimental bombast.
