"... It's a good time to be watching a film like this and ask ourselves what we should be asking our leaders and whom we should believe."
Home Media Magazine
"One of the clearest and most effective films on the Iraq War to date."
FilmForward.com
"Compelling... A keen analysis of how war has been made easy by well-oiled propaganda techniques."
BuzzFlash.com
"... Not easily forgotten."
DVD Town
"The documentary is fascinating on its own, or as a companion piece to media critic Norman Solomon's 2005 book of the same name. Regardless of one's political stance, War Made Easy is highly recommended viewing..."
DVD Talk
"An unsettling documentary."
The Providence Journal
"... Demonstrates that democracy, which depends on an informed public, has been ill served."
Shepard Express (Milwaukee)
"... A tightly constructed and absorbing survey."

Library Journal
"One of the top documentaries of 2007."
John Griffin
Montreal Gazette
"A superb visual form of investigative journalism. It chillingly exposes government officials who have used deception to send our young men and women into the hell of war, and who have condemned innocent families in the Middle East to death. But more, it investigates journalism itself, documenting the collusion of the national media with the warmakers, and thus alerting us to the betrayal of democracy."
Howard Zinn
Author, A People's History of the United States
"...Goes further than most recent documentaries on the current Iraq war by not merely looking at Bush Administration mismanagement or avarice, but also examining propaganda that the U.S. military and government repeatedly use."
Ben Terrall
Dissident Voice
"This documentary is a powerful work. It raises important questions, reveals a pattern of official distortion, the abuse of presidential authority and the complicity of the news media in allowing it to happen. It should be eye-opening for students. It would be useful in an investigative reporting class to watch and learn and for those teaching mass media research to provide lively source material for further examination, particularly in agenda setting and framing research. The archival film footage is a historian's dream to follow the patterns of military propaganda for the past fifty years."
American Journalism
"War Made Easy is an excellent, but boldly partisan work. The evidence is compelling and well researched. This film is recommended to anyone wishing to examine the relationship between media and politics, or the American media culture in general."
Educational Media Reviews Online
"This DVD inches us ever closer to the harrowing truth about 9.11 and the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq."
Weekly Dig (Boston)
"Compelling"
Montreal Gazette
"Compelling... a bucket of ice water to the face in an attempt to wake up an unsuspecting public."
DVD Verdict
"Sobering and more than a little scary..."
The Philadelphia Inquirer
"A powerful construction of information and complicated questioning that is critical to understanding the current Iraq conflict and previous combat situations."
