The Hollywood ReporterLeslie FelperinOct 30, 2025
What’s quite novel about this work, as opposed to any number of well-made docs about (mostly male) war photographers, is that it directly addresses how Addario’s job impacts her as a mother. Read full review

It’s a film that’s emotional, exhilarating, and essential. Read full review

Screen DailyNikki BaughanOct 30, 2025
While her work certainly speaks for itself, it’s fascinating to hear Addario tell her own remarkable story. Read full review

The PlaylistRodrigo PerezOct 30, 2025
Love+War doesn’t canonize Addario. It throws the audience into her contradiction: the duty to record history versus the duty to be present at home. It doesn’t answer whether those responsibilities can coexist, and that’s the point. Read full review

Occasionally, Love + War does suffer from a sense of only skimming the surface of Addario’s life and complexity. . . But on its whole, it’s a smart, compelling documentary, one that sticks out by making its lead refreshingly, vulnerably human. Read full review

TheWrapMatthew CreithOct 30, 2025
It takes awhile to get to why Lynsey is so passionate about her work, but the film eventually becomes real, raw and deeply human. It’s more of an exploration of why women aren’t typically known for war photojournalism, but Lynsey Addario hopes to change that stereotype for future generations. Read full review

The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisOct 30, 2025
Love + War chooses to go wide rather than deep, resulting in a movie that, while pleasingly dynamic, offers less psychological insight than the photographs she has gambled everything to take. And perhaps that’s as it should be. Read full review
