Photographs tell stories, and in this case, they tell more than shots of guys looking for photos.

Top Critic A worthy tribute to a man and his colleagues who risk their lives to bring us the true story of the world.

This film is an act of spiritual faith -- an eloquent, deeply felt meditation on the nature of compassion.

Both the film and Nachtwey's photos hammer home the grim reality of the world's gutters and battlefields, and will make you question what 'news' really is.

It's almost too much to watch, and, frankly, I dare anyone to sit through this movie without having to leave the theatre.

If you ever wondered what it would be like to be smack in the middle of a war zone armed with nothing but a camera, this Oscar-nominated documentary takes you there.

It's as close as we'll ever come to looking through a photographer's viewfinder as he works.

A film at once depressing and uplifting--depressing in terms of the sad, often horrifying subjects of Nachtwey's photographs but uplifting in terms of his commitment and integrity.

Uplifting as only a document of the worst possibilities of mankind can be, and among the best films of the year.

Watching War Photographer, you come to believe that Nachtwey hates the wars he shows and empathizes with the victims he reveals.

Although commentary on Nachtwey is provided ... it's the image that really tells the tale.
