Critic Reviews

Andrew Grant

It’s a gut-wrenching yet redemptive tale of fathers, sons and the horrors of war, which Marder allows to unfold with minimal intrusion or manipulation. Read full review

Nicolas Rapold

The bleakness and resignation running through the film can be gut-wrenching. Read full review

Sheri Linden

The impact of the quietly observant film builds until the unlikeliest of elements - an old Broadway tune, an empty garage, a conversation about fenders - detonate with long-buried emotion, anguished and tender. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

Less an adventure yarn than a character study of two old guys with fading memories and improbable dreams. Read full review

Noel Murray

Undoubtedly, everything documentarian Darius Marder shows in his debut film Loot actually happened, but Marder’s approach to this “truth is stranger than fiction” story is so forced that the movie FEELS phony. Read full review

John Anderson

Marder, surely, was looking for a big bonanza at the end of Loot, but suspense and catharsis prove as elusive as two old men's memories. Read full review
