	Author	Review
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"[Stone's] sensibility is one of visual grandeur, sweeping emotion and heightened, sometimes overwrought, drama."	POS
United States	Ty Burr Boston Globe	"A touching tribute to those who did their duty on 9/11"	POS
United Kingdom	Paul Arendt BBC	"Sombre, personal, patriotic, and respectful of its subject almost to the point of tedium (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"[A] grotesquely boring and badly acted TV-movie-style (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Ian Nathan Empire	"Even without his box of political tricks, Oliver Stone remains the foremost cinematic shrink for America's distress (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Keith Phipps AV Club	"It's an inspiring story obscured by a coat of gloss. Stylistically, this is Stone at his least excessive, but the approach still feels wrong"	NEG
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"It's in the smaller moments that the film shines. Stone’s focus on the men in the rubble is characteristically intense (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"[It] yields lovely and touching moments but proves a slow-going, arduous movie experience"	NEU
