The critical consensus

Demonstrating the consequences of indulging a culture built on myths and conspiracy theories, this is a compelling portrait of a war hero who epitomises many Middle American concerns and convictions.

It is a bizarre life-story of publicity, but Zimmerman gives an interesting account of Gritz’s personal issues with depression, and conveys the feeling that after Vietnam, things were never the same again.

(*) (*) Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 01/03/2018

An abstract portrait of a true outsider. Shocking and compelling, even if a little meandering at times.

(*) (*) David Jenkins, Little White Lies, 02/03/2018

Intriguing, eye-opening documentary.
