The reviews are in
The War Tapes, the film about a New Hampshire-based infantry unit's year in Iraq, has drawn mainly positive reviews. It was shot by the soldiers themselves.
"Powerfully distressing," one critic calls it. Another says the film takes the concept of embedded reporting "pretty much right inisde the soldiers' brains."
The exception is the Village Voice reviewer who chastises the soldiers for their “mercenary self-regard” and calls the film itself the “cinematic equivalent to a ribbon magnet.”
The reviews are collected at the Rotten Tomatoes site.
The film has its New Hampshire debut at Concord's Capitol Center for the Arts on June 22.

Thanks so much for the mention! We are relying on a grassroots effort to get the word out about our film. Each and every one of us can make a difference in these soldiers' stories and voices being heard by spreading the word. Hope to see you on the 22nd!
