Dennis Harvey Variety An impartial look at U.S. military service that movingly commands respect for the personnel while requiring neither support nor assigning blame for the politics behind unpopular war efforts Nov 29, 2010 Full Review Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times Sustained by Weber's strong presence, "A Marine Story" overcomes some flaws in continuity and superficial characterizations to drive home its underlying message about the injustice of "don't ask, don't tell"... Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 11, 2010 Full Review Stephen Holden New York Times Ms. Weber (Mr. Farr's wife) anchors the movie with a gritty, honest performance that has the same to-the-bone quality as Melissa Leo's in Frozen River. Rated: 3/5 Nov 4, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member What's the worse you can get? The coloration edited into the film causes a strange orange tint to many scenes. The shampoo commercial music in the pain ball scene did me in. I stopped watching it. This could have been a great film about an LGBTQ Marine and her story. Instead, this movie was so poorly filmed, I honestly cannot recommend this. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member <i> Every fight is personal</i> Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member great film really enjoyed. thought the storyline and plot was great and moved at a good pace. :) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Not bad, wasn't sure what to expect Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Feels more like a documentary than film, and is a bit too impersonal to pull heart strings. Still, a very honest and un-politicized look at the realities of Don't Ask Don't Tell, thankfully which is something becoming part of the past. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member should've been titled A Mangled Story. so clumsily done, why did they even bother ? there were some (unintentional) laughable moments. a snooze.
