At its center lie three accomplished performances, by Ben Foster, Woody Harrelson and Samantha Morton, that are not to be missed.

It is relentlessly bleak, even in its lighter moments. The downbeat tone is wearying. These days, we just need some hope.

I know several folks in military service who wouldn't watch this movie if you paid them.

[Foster and Harrelson's] interplay, on the job (ruining the day of one unfortunate person after the next) and off...provides the backbone of this erratically paced film.

With the insight and sensitivity of an insider, The Messenger illuminates the sometimes invisible victims of war -- the survivors -- and a pain that is tolerated but never quite healed.

The bombshell is the news of a soldier's death and the delivery of that message is the heart of this unsentimental, yet deeply moving, story.

Alejado de cualquier rastro de patriotismo, desnudando la complejidad emocional detrás de un drama históricamente recurrente que ha sido retratado con frecuencia por el cine norteamericano, aunque esta vez de manera un poco más intimista.

The film is premised on the verbal communication of urgent information, yet its many non-verbal moments provide the greatest strength and clarity.

It never feels contrived or overwritten, managing to deftly pack emotional punches through the strength of its performances and direction.

Harrelson gives us layers of hurt under a callous yet needy crust. It may be the best performance of his career and certainly deserves Oscar consideration.

[An] unpredictable, episodic, deeply resonant character piece.
