Danger Close provides a vivid portrait of combat and its emotional and physical aftermath.

Michael Rechtshaffen

Los Angeles Times

Ultimately, neither narrative receives sufficient attention, robbing the subjects and that unique p.o.v. of the focus and urgency that lent the previous two films their undeniable potency.

Serena Donadoni

Village Voice

By focusing on Quade's absolute respect for military service and authority, Salzberg and Tureaud miss an opportunity to explore her pragmatic conservatism, lyrically expressed in her profiles of unquestioning heroism.

Dan Schindel

Paste Magazine

Danger Close fetes veterans less than it does Quade, who gets to talk herself up, often in an unseemly manner, coming across as braggadocios about her own bravery even as she pays lip service to the solemnity of her job.

Rated: 3/10

Alex Quade is a great combat reporter, no question. How great a documentary producer she is is a separate thing.

Very good. It shows the bravery, commitment and honor of the forces in Afghanistan. I can believe the reporter went over and lived with those guys.

Reporter embeds with ODA. Gets hurt hopping off a HMMWV. Becomes a liability. Goes home. Climbs a mountain. Returns to Iraq. This whole doc is more or less a "look at how brave I am" by some reporter who circled it around a SF Group to gain relevancy.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars
