The critic consesnsus is: A powerful reflection on a pivotal era, from a viewpoint seldom visited, this documentary hits home, especially with its relevance to current events.. What reviews supported this critic consensus?
1. A powerful documentary that uncovers half-forgotten history, history that is still relevant but not in ways you might be expecting.
2. Zeiger can't resist overstating the extent of the GI peace movement, and his singular focus in hailing the protesters creates more than a few blind spots in his movie.
3. Sir! No Sir! movingly captures the raw excitement of grunts discovering their power and their voices in their ability to resist.
4. A tight, engrossing and excellent chronicle of the movement made by these heroic men who chose to question authority instead of falling in line.
5. Most soldiers in every war don't want to fight. Not all of them whine with the success these people had.
6. Makes its case insistently enough to raise the question why another war would seem like such a good idea so soon after the Vietnam debacle.
7. Is sure to reheat the 40-year-old controversy between the two intractable sides of the Vietnam War.
8. It's an invaluable record of what some soldiers felt about the war they fought and what some soldiers did about it when they returned home.
9. Hawks and doves alike should be grateful to Zeiger for preserving a fascinating piece of American cultural history that the vets recount here.
10. The appropriateness of the Coup's "Captain Sterling's Little Problem" for a film about the GI antiwar movement during the Vietnam war underlines the awful sameness of then and now.
