The Dissolve
July 31, 2014 Indie dramas don't get much more oppressively dreary than War Story, a film every bit as distinctive and exciting as its generic title suggests.

Film Threat
May 19, 2014 Mark Jackson's War Story functions as a languid visual essay that passively contemplates Lee's warped psychological state, while avoiding any exposition of the events that triggered her present state of mind.

Variety

Slant Magazine
July 27, 2014 Mark Jackson's direction strips much of the agency from any character's grasp by insisting that their dilemmas can only be revealed with stone-faced austerity.

June 21, 2016 War Story provides a refreshingly specific, restrained story of loss and recovery in the boundaries of battle.
