[A] deeply distressing, authentically moving psychological study of unswerving obsession....Anchored by Rosamund Pike’s powerhouse lead performance...
New York Times
3 stars out of 5 -- A PRIVATE WAR gives powerful voice to the plight of the innocent victims of conflict....Pike throws herself into the central role with tangible conviction...
The Guardian
The film uses an energetic visual language that seems to strive for the viewer to feel the impact of the shrapnel. [Full Review in Spanish]

[V]iscerally communicating the urgency Colvin felt about her work....A PRIVATE WAR suggests Colvin was nearly incapable of doing anything else.

Rating: 2/5 --
Poor, gifted Rosamund Pike is persuaded to play the American-born Sunday Times journo at full throttle, when half-throttle would be a nice occasional variant.

Financial Times
Rating: 2/5 --
Its grindingly earnest tone is that of the hasty posthumous tribute, rather than the more textured, inquiring long view of a worthwhile biopic.

Daily Telegraph (UK)
Rating: 3/5 --
At a time when pressured media budgets are conspiring, with the general preference for escapism over reality, to threaten war reporting's very existence, A Private War unflinchingly reminds us of its value.

Product Description:
This biopic tells the story of war correspondent Marie Colvin (Rosamund Pike), who was killed in Syria while documenting the country's bloody civil war. An award-winning journalist who lost an eye while reporting in Sri Lanka, she teams up with freelance photographer Paul Conroy (Jamie Dornan) and combats her own demons of PTSD and alcoholism while boldly chasing down dangerous but vital stories. Directed by Matthew Heineman.
