      Les N Well worth a look and a more than typical reaction. Good ending. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/02/23 Full Review Audience Member I wish I could give this a million stars. An absolute must see. All the stories intertwined and kept you doubting everyone and yourself as you watch it. Every second of this movie had me on the edge of my seat. The story was so fast, so raw, and so good. The last 30 seconds is absolutely mind-blowing. Completely shook me to the core. Just WOW! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Garbage! Propaganda! Pick the group you wish to blame . . . Sick to death of identity politics and this movie takes the cake. Five minutes in I knew . . . Should we blame the poor white kid or the Muslim kid? Surely it must be one of those from the "lower classes!" This movie is disgusting! Those of us who work for a living do not have time for this nonsense! A movie written and filmed for and by those who want to congratulate themselves for a job well done . . . while not knowing not a damned thing about the working class or immigrants, much less Islam! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member When I nod off before the end it's a pretty strong indication... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Moving, intelligent, compelling and important movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review greg r This movie spends every moment preparing you to accept no closure. But, hold out for the ending. Just. In. Case. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle It's a portrait of grief and devastation, and also of the ways in which the police and media can jump to conclusions and feed off of the public's anger and confusion. Rated: 3/4 Oct 24, 2013 Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times A post-post-9/11 melodrama that only occasionally lives up to its noble ambitions. Rated: 3/5 Oct 24, 2013 Full Review Tony Hicks San Jose Mercury News It does something a lot of better-financed Hollywood movies don't: It makes you think. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 23, 2013 Full Review John Noonan FILMINK (Australia) Directed by Jeremiah Birnbaum, Torn dissects the tenacity with which the media can jump on a story, manipulating the facts to suit a certain narrative, and by doing so, exposing buried prejudices in ourselves. Jul 17, 2015 Full Review Kelly Vance East Bay Express Doesn't hit us over the head with the "us against them" front story. Oct 31, 2013 Full Review Roger Moore Tribune News Service An emotionally lukewarm take on grieving and guilt in the aftermath of an act of mass murder, but not without its melodramatic merits. Rated: 2/4 Oct 22, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews
