Critic Reviews

  • Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com

    We haven't got space to do justice to David Zeiger's important historical documentary Sir! No Sir! but suffice it to say that it will change your understanding of the Vietnam era, even if you were alive then.

  • Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

    I expected to emerge depressed by how long these stories have gone untold, but the speakers' courage and humanity are a shot in the arm.

  • Wesley Morris, Boston Globe

    Zeiger's movie is a timely salute to the risky and brave men and women who had the temerity not only to think for themselves but to speak their minds.

  • Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

    Shines a light on a forgotten corner of the antiwar movement: the men (and a few women) who returned from their tours of duty filled with doubt and disillusionment over what they saw, and did, there.

  • Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

    About an almost-forgotten fact of the Vietnam era: Anti-war sentiment among U.S. troops grew into a problem for the Pentagon.

    Memorable documentary on the trials and tribulations of those who protested the Vietnam war...who actually were in Vietnam. The history of the soliders who rebelled on the field and their lives afterwards. A good addition to the Vietnam canon of film.
