Reviews

Redacted has received mixed reviews from critics. Some praised the film for its bold approach in tackling the subject matter and its realistic portrayal of the horrors of war. Peter Bradshaw from The Guardian described it as 'a harrowing and necessary film that sheds light on the dark realities of conflict.' However, other critics found the storytelling style to be disjointed and the graphic nature of the film to be excessive. Rotten Tomatoes gives Redacted a 44% rating, while IMDb rates it at 6.1/10 and Metacritic scores it at 52/100. Despite its divisive reception, Redacted remains a thought-provoking and intense cinematic experience that challenges viewers to confront the brutal truths of war.
