Happy New Year provides a rare glimpse into the darker ramifications of war that rarely take center stage in the national dialogue. This struggle has nothing to do with political motives or tactical movements, but rather the battle to retain sanity against impossible odds.

Dec 7, 2012

A dully directed movie that sends a message but lacks oomph.

The Hollywood Reporter

Dec 4, 2012

Sincere performances and well-intentioned scripting should help it with vets eager to see their stories told on-screen, but the film's dreary, secondhand feel is hard to overcome.

By John DeFore FULL REVIEW

Village Voice

Dec 4, 2012

So trite that it's unwittingly insensitive.
