	Author	Review
United States	Robyn Bahr The Hollywood Reporter	"Stylistically, it's simultaneously beautifully crafted and painfully sluggish (...) 'Our Boys' superb performances may be one key reason to push through this tough-to-watch series."	NEU
United States	Dorothy Rabinowitz The Wall Street Journal	"Arbid is a formidable presence (...) A work of distinguished writing, fearless in its sophistication, unfailing in its powers."	POS
United States	Judy Berman Time	"'Our Boys' depicts each culture with empathy and specificity (...) You’ll be rewarded with a timely argument that an eye for an eye isn’t always justice."	POS
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"[It] is paced with a punishing slowness, but rewards with tough insights into politics and hate."	NEU
United States	Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"There’s so much at stake and yet 'Our Boys' doesn’t have an urgency (...) You can too easily imagine 'Our Boys' leaving a deeper impression by being half the episode length, or cut into a two-hour movie."	NEU
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"[It] puts faces on a conflict often seen -- especially in the U.S. -- from a distant aerial view, bringing the loss, pain and senseless circle of violence achingly home."	POS
