	Author	Review
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"This Vietnam War-themed drama is one of the dullest movies made about that oft-dramatized conflict (...)	NEG
United States	Nick Schager Variety	"Alternately affecting and cloying (...) it nonetheless also results in a reverential — and occasionally poignant — tribute to a legitimate hero"	NEU
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"[A] dull reminder that bad movies are often made with the best intentions"	NEG
United States	Johnny Oleksinski New York Post	"Too teary (...) Todd Robinson is the victim of his own noble intentions, turning each and every moment into an ice bucket of sentiment (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Candice Frederick The Wrap	"It’s not without its flaws, and Robinson’s wobbly narrative bears much of the blame, but its emotional resonance will stay with you long afterward."	NEU
United States	Derek Smith Slant	"Limited in its scope, stubbornly fixating on the heroism(...) while largely evading any perspectives that might question the institutions that needlessly put those soldiers in harm’s way (...) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"As filmmaking, The Last Full Measure stumbles under the bumpy pacing (...) But the film gets up and pushes forward owing to Robinson’s passion to get this true story told (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle	"Well-intentioned but disappointingly flat (...) What could have been a worthy tribute becomes a by-the-numbers melodrama (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
