Entertainment Reviews:
Hell is war in Michael Cimino's decade-defining classic...
Total Film
It has no more moral intelligence than the Clint Eastwood action pictures, yet it's an astonishing piece of work, an uneasy mixture of violent pulp and grandiosity, with an enraptured view of common life -- poetry of the commonplace.
New Yorker
[A]n American classic in three....Brilliant work by Robert De Niro, John Savage, Meryl Streep and best supporting actor winner Christopher Walken.
Chicago Sun-Times
5 stars out of 5 -- [I]t's an American tragedy indebted to Russian literature, alive with detail and ritual and embedding viewers in the souls of men, the heart of a community and the spilled guts of a nation.
Total Film
Rating: 3/4 --
While it's fair to argue that The Deer Hunter contains moments of brilliance, the film as a whole is undone by its length.

ReelViews
5 stars out of 5 -- [A]n unforgettable study of friendship, pre-, during and post Vietnam.
Ultimate DVD
...The film remains intense, powerful and fascinating for more than three hours....The acting, throughout, is outstanding. Walken's performance is a marvel...
Variety
Product Description:
This epic look at the Vietnam War and its effects told through the lives of a tight knit group of friends from a Pennsylvania town was Michael Cimino's second film and established him in the pantheon of American directors. Complex and emotionally raw performances from Robert De Niro and Meryl Streep earned each an Academy Award nomination, and Christopher Walken's portrayal of Nick, who survives capture but is unable to escape its trauma, is a tour de force that earned him the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. With a keen eye for nuance and a carefully structured script, Cimino interweaves the rituals great and small that make up the lives of his characters, creating a poignant sense of what remained constant and what was forever changed by their experience of the war.
