Critic Reviews of "The Vietnam War - Season 1"
indieWireSeptember 18, 2017As the world once again faces uncertain times, The Vietnam War challenges an entire nation to examine the sources of its enmity and not repeat catastrophes so recent that those directly affected by it can still lend their voices to the warning.
NPRSeptember 18, 2017I ended up crying during Kushner's retelling, and also about a half-dozen other times while watching The Vietnam War.
Uncle BarkySeptember 18, 2017... The Vietnam War boldly and bravely stands its ground and almost assuredly will stand the test of time.
NPRSeptember 17, 2017PBS's The Vietnam War is another masterpiece by Burns and Novick. It's powerful proof of something Burns once said -- history doesn't repeat itself, but human nature never changes.
Orlando SentinelSeptember 14, 2017... viewers who sign on for PBS' "The Vietnam War" will witness a thoughtful documentary that bypasses well-worn ideological ruts and gives today's polarization valuable context.
Patrick NabarroFebruary 25, 2020It is paradoxically laudable that documentarians, Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, have been able to cast such a measured and equanimous tone over the subject matter.
HyperallergicFebruary 07, 2020The Vietnam War, which took ten years and $30 million to make, does almost nothing new with its topic. It can't say what any number of books, documentaries, articles, or fiction films haven't already said.
Memphis FlyerJanuary 16, 2020Burns and Novick are great researchers, but they've outdone themselves.
El FinancieroOctober 05, 2018The Vietnam War covers a lot, but never forgets the human element. [Full review in Spanish]
El Pais (Spain)September 23, 2018Hollywood should approach the reason of Vietnam with a comprehensive overproduction of the political, economic, social and ideological aspects collected in the magnificent documentary by Burns and Novick. [Full Review in Spanish]
London Review of BooksAugust 20, 2018There have been vivid Vietnam movies, but don't kid yourself: the 'horror' of Apocalypse Now is escapist stuff next to the implacable record of the Burns/Novick movie.
