Reviews for Memorial Day
1 - 10 (sorted by date; UK critics are listed first)
For all its visceral assaults and improv-ish aesthetics, in the end Memorial Day offers a conventional moral assessment.
02/06/09
Most of the last hour of Memorial Day feels like a retread at least, and horribly exploitative at worst.
02/05/09
An often bland, repetitive and quite nauseating experience.
02/04/09
Fox’s directorial debut is a strangely fascinating piece of misguided intentions, a crooked attempt to editorialize on the ugliest aspects of human nature gone awry.
02/04/09
Memorial Day sets up the party zone as a moral equivalent to the war zone, hammers that connection home and then stops-content with offering an equation in lieu of an argument
02/04/09
Rather than backing up the old chestnut about the banality of evil, Memorial Day does nothing but remind us that cinematic repetition inevitably robs immorality of its impact.
02/04/09
Memorial Day moves from clever mock documentary to groan-inducing conceptualism.

Top CriticBack in Iraq, the film's trite, unexamined spectacle of men and women behaving badly proceeds.
02/03/09
Unpleasant concoction attempting to link soldiers on a drunken, sex-filled holiday beach leave with their horrific, sadistic behavior at an Abu Ghraib-like Iraqi prison is literally nauseating, no thanks to camerawork gone wild.
