The New York Times Stephen Holden
At its most provocative, Severe Clear pungently evokes a heroic Marine Corps mystique.
Read Full Review >The Hollywood Reporter Frank Scheck
It offers a much needed personal perspective on a subject that is too often reduced to political arguments.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
His first-person perspective is unexpectedly frank as he shares some extremely dark moments -- spurred by increasing anger and doubt -- that civilians rarely get to see.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Aaron Hillis
A potent reminder of how thankless a soldier's job is.
Read Full Review >Time Out New York Nicolas Rapold
Like the big-budget thriller “Green Zone,” which is also opening this week, Kristian Fraga’s documentary catapults us back to the chaos of Iraq circa 2003. But instead of action figure Matt Damon, we get garish, staccato images and hard-bitten voiceover from First Lieutenant Mike Scotti.
Read Full Review >New York Post Kyle Smith
Much of this footage might have been illuminating, even fascinating, in 2003. But seven years on, it's ancient history lacking insight, hindsight or a fresh take.
