The characters are thrust into full exposure, both physically and emotionally, to a place where self-exploitation and the exploitation of others give rise to a shocking new kind of entertainment. The camera creates a sphere of provocation wherever it goes, ramping up actions and pushing characters to a place of hyper-real catharsis. The film takes a major twist half way through, pushing the themes of the weekend to their extremes. (Artists Public Domain)… Expand

Critic Reviews

Noel Murray

Most of the last hour of Memorial Day feels like a retread at least, and horribly exploitative at worst. Read full review

Nathan Lee

Moves from clever mock documentary to groan-inducing conceptualism. Mr. Fox may well have put his finger on certain shared impulses between these repellent bacchanalia, but his manner of drawing them out is heavy-handed. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

Dumb and unwatchable. Read full review

Ed Gonzalez

Placing the onus of the war on the troops, Fox follows "Redacted's" vile moral playbook, only without Brian De Palma's self-reflexive, formalist gestures. Read full review
