Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Greengrass sacrifices character and plot to a chilling impressionistic stylization.
Watching director Paul Greengrass's explosive Bloody Sunday, you have to remind yourself at moments that you're not looking at a documentary.
Comparisons with The Battle of Algiers are not inappropriate.
As a terrifying example of what can happen when too many angry people are crowded into too small a space, it's a gripper.
