Los Angeles Times
The war scenes and their aftermath are involving and emotionally sound as well as skillfully shot and edited. And if several moments smack of revisionist history, perhaps best to ascribe them to dramatic license. - 50
McClatchy-Tribune News Service
It’s a sentimental, sometimes moving affair... It is also at times a reminder of how hard it is to manage a decent Civil War movie on a limited budget, and how hard it is, even today, to tell a Civil War tale untainted by revisionism. - 20
The Dissolve
The film is adequately directed, well-photographed, and competently acted. But it’s rotten at its core. - 20
The Hollywood Reporter
Best viewed as a glossy advertisement for the venerable military academy that is its focus, Field of Lost Shoes doesn’t exactly score points for objectivity. - 10
Village Voice
The film stands as a pinnacle of revisionist bullshit.
