You're unlikely to hear a less convincing sounding film this year, whereby actors are tasked with the impossible in a film that so often resembles an infomercial than any reflection of reality.

Chicago Cinema Circuit
The movie’s heartbreak lingers, as Lee makes a convincing case that the wounds of over a decade ago, whether they feel immediate or distanced, may not heal so easily. -- Grade: B
A.V. Club
3 stars out of 5 -- What makes sense of this is Joe Alwyn’s placid, moving performance. A master at undercurrents in still lives, Lee milks the photogenic sweetness in his discovery’s cherub cheeks and blue eyes -- the model soldier whose dirty secret is that he’s a real soldier too.
Empire
Rating: D+ --
In essence, a failed experiment.

Silver Screen Riot
Rating: 3/5 --
A bit clunky and corny, but sincerely intent on providing a realistic portrait of wartime causalities, both during and after battle.

Rating: 2/5 --
The film has neither topical immediacy nor any real historical perspective and, burdened with pedantic and predictable flashbacks, it finally leads nowhere interesting at all.

Rating: 2/5 --
Ideally, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk shouldn't play like a demo reel for new technology Ang Lee wishes to unveil. Unfortunately, it does.

Product Description:
After a video of him saving his sergeant's life during a battle in Iraq goes viral, a 19-year-old U.S. soldier named Billy Lynn (Joe Alwyn) is invited, along with his squad mates, to return to the States for a promotional tour involving a military celebration during a Thanksgiving football game. However, the experience only makes Lynn feel more alienated from a society that doesn't truly understand or appreciate the sacrifices of its soldiers. Kristen Stewart, Vin Diesel, Garrett Hedlund, Steve Martin, Tim Blake Nelson, and Chris Tucker co-star. Directed by Ang Lee, BILLY LYNN'S LONG HALFTIME WALK is based on the acclaimed novel of the same name by Ben Fountain.
