Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2/4 --
...an exceedingly thin premise that's employed to sometimes striking yet often underwhelming effect by Kubrick...

Reel Film Reviews
For all its heavy-handed gloom and stylistic unevenness, Fear and Desire has a certain fierceness that's hard to shake.

Slant Magazine
3 stars out of 5 -- [With] a slow tracking shot through a cafeteria that the director's fans will immediately recognize as one of his trademark camera moves.
Total Film
Rating: 3/5 --
It's an unconventional but compelling film as four soldiers find themselves trapped behind enemy lines during an unspecified war.

Kubrick does show some brash invention and a yearning to experiment with angles.

Rating: 3/5 --
If Fear and Desire is uneven and sometimes reveals an experimental rather than a polished exterior, its over-all effect is entirely worthy of the sincere effort put into it.

Rating: 4/10 --
A dismal expression of a lousy script... every bit the work of a young kid with lots of ideas and no clue what to do with them.

Product Description:
Legendary director Stanley Kubrick made his feature debut with this allegorical drama about war. Four soldiers whose plane has crashed discover they're behind enemy lines in an unnamed country. Desperate to escape, they decide to build a raft and travel up the nearby river into allied country. However, their presence is discovered by a local woman who stumbles across them in the woods, and they learn that an enemy general is nearby, determined to flush them out. Stanley Kubrick served as producer, director, screenwriter, editor, and cinematographer on FEAR AND DESIRE, which he made on a budget of only $40,000. One of the soldiers was played by Paul Mazursky, who later went on to a distinguished directorial career of his own. Kubrick displayed little enthusiasm for his debut feature later in his career, and is said to have attempted to prevent it from being screened on several occasions.
