Destiny pervades the project, and anyone who expected Stone to toe anything other than the company line was gravely mistaken.
Dave Calhoun, Time Out

[World Trade Center] doesn't pretend to encompass the entire catastrophe of 9/11, and that is its great negative virtue.
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer

The world may not make sense anymore, but Oliver Stone, a warrior still, celebrating courage and endurance, has, in his own way, come home.
David Denby, New Yorker
