World Trade Centre | Ratings & Reviews

"Yields lovely and touching moments but proves a slow-going, arduous movie experience, if more uplifting than Universal's earlier "United 93"..."

VarietyVariety

"In the Sept. 11 of “World Trade Center,” feeling transcends politics, and the film’s astonishingly faithful re-creation of the emotional reality of the day produces a curious kind of nostalgia. It’s not that anyone would wish to live through such agony again, but rather that the extraordinary upsurge of fellow feeling that the attacks produced seems precious. And also very distant from the present. Mr. Stone has taken a public tragedy and turned it into something at once genuinely stirring and terribly sad. His film offers both a harrowing return to a singular, disastrous episode in the recent past and a refuge from the ugly, depressing realities of its aftermath..."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"Oliver Stone has made a cautious, earnestly factual and emotionally unassailable film. What he has not made is an Oliver Stone movie... 'World Trade Center' takes the point of view of two men with no clear idea of what's going on. "What happened to the buildings?" asks Jimeno when his rescuers lift him out of the hole. The deeper implications of those words raise hot-button issues that Stone has tabled for now. His film is undeniably affecting, but you leave it wanting more..."

Rolling StoneRolling Stone

"Even without his box of political tricks, Oliver Stone remains the foremost cinematic shrink for America’s distress..."

Empire MagazineEmpire Magazine

"polar opposite to the nerve-jangling leanness of Paul Greengrass's United 93. It's a stodgy, sappy, intensely earnest film marinaded in the fuzzy morality of the Hollywood mainstream. Despite being true, it feels fictional: a distillation of human values rather than an objective chronicle. That's not necessarily a bad thing; to tell the truth, it's rather comforting"
