Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 6.8/10 --
It is relentlessly bleak, even in its lighter moments. The downbeat tone is wearying. These days, we just need some hope.

Rating: 4/5 --
The Oscar-nominated script pursues a grimly honourable task into its grim and not always honourable byways.

Financial Times
An extraordinary anti-war film that does not engage in polemics. The Messenger's extreme effectiveness is due to the brilliant acting of Ben Foster and Woody Harrelson.

Rating: 4/5 --
