- Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2024I don't know why this movie disappeared so quickly when it was released. I thought it was a faithful portrayal of an excellent book. The acting by the leads is superb. Portrayal of the effects of PTSD are very moving. And there is plenty of humor in the midst of a serious story.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2017This is truly a no-compromise release of this movie. This package has both the UHD, 2D 60fps release on one disc and the 24fps 3D HD on another, and it's probably the best 3D master I've seen on a BluRay.
True two-camera 3D is nearly unheard-of these days, but Ang Lee used it to spectacular effect here to immerse the audience in Billy Lynn's experience. The wide release of this film was a dreary 24fps, 2D version which ripped the guts out of the entire artistic intent. This is somewhere between a satire and an immersive VR experience. You don't get told about PTSD; you live it.
The original 120fps, 4k, true two-camera 3D filming of this movie is a technical marvel, but it's all in service of this movie's intent. So many reviewers misunderstood this piece, and almost nobody got to see it as it was intended. This means the 24 fps 3D version is very judder-free, and the 60fps UHD 2D version is stunningly beautiful.
It's a captivating, amazing, beautiful story. Turn your speakers up and rattle the neighbors two streets over, put on your glasses, and experience immersive storytelling at its best. I agree with Armond White: Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk is better than La La Land.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2017Somehow, I suspect this movie would have been better received using more standard film techniques. I've seen it in 4k and on dvd and I'd have to say that the 4k was a bit distracting. Having said that, I think a lot of negative reviews focus on the film technique being used and not on the story that's being told. There is a story here and it's an important one. This is not a feel good, Ra-Ra movie where we stand up and cheer at the very end.
It's a movie that asks several important questions with no easy answers. What really makes a hero? Billy Lynn wasn't trying to be heroic. He didn't asked to be videoed. He didn't ask to be an internet sensation and he certainly didn't ask to be a hero to a nation in desperate need to feel good about something. Now he's sent home and the Army put him and the others of Bravo squad on tour in the U.S.
Everyone treats him like he's a celebrity and expect he should now act the part. Strangers behave as though he should be alright with a now lack of privacy. The Army, exploiting his new found fame, parades them around the country further spreading their celebrity status. The men of Bravo haven't got much of a choice in the matter. It's either play the hero and go along or face disciplinary action and "Let down a Nation." After all, this is now America's story. Think -- The Jessica Lynch story.
The men play along, all the while some of the men battle with PTSD from their experiences in Iraq. They're not being treated, in fact, they're not even being diagnosed and they have to play the Hero role and not by their own choosing.
There is a hero in this movie and it's played by Vin Diesel's character. He dies early on but we get to know him through flashback sequences and he's the hero we should celebrate. Overall, a good solid movie with heart and daring. They dare to ask good questions. This movie is not unlike Flags of our Fathers by Clint Eastwood and somewhere bordering on the Jessica Lynch Story.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2017I've been wanting to see this movie for awhile, it was only out for a minute locally, but since it wasn't a sequel or prequel or part seven of a movie franchise I don't suppose it had much if a built in audience so perhaps sales were slow, too bad. The previews were always gripping and left me wanting for more.
I was also anxious to see how it looked in UHD, some reviews mentioned it was quite distracting, but I didn't think so. I personally liked the detail.
So, no this is not an action filled summer blockbuster with lots of explosions unless you count fireworks at the halftime show. It does have a good story that makes you think a little deeper about what it is to send these kids off to war and what they wrestle with from their experiences. It almost requires a sequel itself though, I would really be interested to see how the guys adjust after the war and they settle into a civilian life as this movie just portrayed them receiving a brief reprieve to do promotional stuff for Uncle Sam.
The cast was good, and Vin Diesels character though short lived was interesting, would like some back story on this guy.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2024Meh the 3D looked nice but seemed unnecessary for this type of movie.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2018I just watched this film as part of the New York Film Festival early screening and it's a film that will be stuck in my mind for awhile, it's a deeply emotional and moving film with great acting (particularly newcomer, Joe Alwyn), cinematography and an original score. The ending was strong and had me choked up, the movie is based on a satirical novel so there is definitely some humor in it so it's not a totally depressing film but definitely a thought-provoking one, this was the film I was anticipating the most out of the 2016 releases then upon reading some underwhelming reviews from the opening night my expectations went down a little but I think it will be go down as one of the best films of the year, it's images and its anti-war message in my opinion were powerful and the film should inspire a lot conversation about what it means to "support the troops" and how we can help those returning who are suffering from PTSD, overall I give it 8 out of 10 stars, I hope people go out and see this in the theater and talk about it afterwards.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2024Definitely will be watching this more than once,very good movie!!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2024This will be a movie I cone across again and watch anytime I see it avaiable. Emotional, heartfelt, ending was not expected. But it was a great in your feel movie

5.0 out of 5 stars a worlds first - a interesting showcase disc for film and home cinema lovers.
The story is only 2 stars, but the movie represents a first on the technological side. Billy Lynn is shot at 120 fps, and the 4K disc is to my knowledge the first 60fps HDR disc ever. This produces a very lifelike (film lovers will argue that it feels TO real!) and looses its film feeling.
Personally, I think it is a matter of getting used to. 60fps delivers amazing sharpness and detail even when the camera moves, and combined with HDR it is a very special experience. We have been used to see the artefacts that is so obvious with 24fps film, and this disc can be used to showcase the difference between UHD HDR 60p and HD 24p. They are two totally different experiences. The UHD disc comes with a Dolby Atmos mix, and the studio decided to go cheap on the Blu-Ray and stayed with a DTS HD soundtrack. A very exciting project from a technical standpoint, the movie itself... well..

5.0 out of 5 stars Un très beau film sur la guerre, l’héroïsme, et le PTSD
Billy Lynn est un jeune soldat américain, engagé volontaire sur le terrain en Irak. Au cours d’une opération, il accomplit une action héroïque qui lui vaut un billet d’avion pour les US. En effet, l’armée a décidé de capitaliser sur l’événement pour une tournée de promotion exhibant les jeunes recrues. De retour chez lui, Billy retrouve sa famille et notamment sa sœur, pacifiste convaincue, qui va tout tenter pour le dissuader de retourner se battre. Le film suit les 24 dernières heures de la permission de Billy, riches en événements. Lui et son escouade doivent notamment être interviewés pendant une conférence de presse, participer à un show à la mi-temps d’un important match de football américain, et discuter d’un deal pour adapter leur histoire au cinéma. Billy lui-même va faire une rencontre amoureuse et devoir décider s’il suit ou non le plan de sa sœur, qui revient à une désertion déguisée en diagnostic médical complaisant.
Ang Lee est décidément un cinéaste qui aime surprendre en touchant à tout, même si la qualité du résultat reste très fluctuante. Après avoir popularisé le wu xia pian à l’international, adapté Jane Austen, traité la Guerre de Sécession sous l’angle sudiste, touché le genre des super-héros en proposant une première version de Hulk, amené un public large au genre ultra-restreint du mélodrame homo, et offert un conte spirituel riche et bigarré, voilà qu’il aborde le thème très à la mode des films sur l’armée. En effet, depuis une douzaine d’années, nombre de cinéastes de premier plan ont offert leur propre variation : Jarhead de Sam Mendes, Redacted de Brian De Palma, Brothers de Jim Sheridan, Démineurs de Kathryn Bigelow, American sniper de Clint Eastwood ne sont que les exemples les plus prestigieux d’une thématique récemment remise au goût du jour depuis la présidence Bush Jr. L’approche, qui n’a plus grand-chose à voir avec le « film de guerre » de Papa où il s’agissait surtout de reconstituer des épisodes célèbres de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale, revient aujourd’hui toujours au même : aborder l’aspect humain de l’engagement militaire à travers le regard d’un soldat, et la façon dont la réalité du terrain affecte sa vie. Billy Lynn s’inscrit complètement dans cette lignée.
Sur le fond, l’adaptation du roman « Fin de mi-temps pour le soldat Billy Lynn » aboutit à un script bien écrit. Si l’intrigue se déroule effectivement pendant une seule journée, le film nous montre également de nombreux flashes-back, soit plus anciens, du terrain d’opérations, soit plus récents, des retrouvailles familiales. Tous ajoutent une certaine épaisseur et fournissent progressivement toutes les pièces du puzzle nécessaires à notre compréhension des conflits intérieurs de Billy. En particulier, le cynisme de l’opération de relations publiques chante les louanges de l’héroïsme du soldat qui lui-même considère qu’il s’agissait là du pire jour de sa vie. On retiendra également l’ardeur de Kathryn, sa petite sœur gauchiste qui s’est mise en tête de le convaincre de ne pas repartir par tous les moyens possibles : discours politique, pressions affectives, chantage au suicide, appel à l’aide, manipulation (lui faire croire à un PTSD) et quasi-enlèvement. Le résultat est impeccablement rendu car si l’on pense suivre les tergiversations intérieures de Billy, on n’est jamais complètement sûr d’avoir raison et, surtout, quasiment jusqu’au bout on se demande s’il va craquer ou non. Il y a donc un réel suspense, que l’on doit entièrement à la mise en scène d’Ang Lee et sa direction d’acteurs.
Le britannique Joe Alwyn nous éblouit complètement en Billy, par la combinaison d’un naturel et d’une maîtrise qu’on imagine difficilement chez quelqu’un dont c’est le premier rôle au cinéma – qui plus est le rôle-titre. Il parvint même à tromper, avec son accent américain de composition, un vieux briscard comme Steve Martin pendant les répétitions. C’est dire si le jeune homme est doué, une vraie révélation. On retiendra également la découverte de Makenzie Leigh, dont le portrait de pom-pom girl nous fait d’abord sourire avant de nous surprendre quand elle révèle une profondeur inattendue dans la seconde moitié du film. Elle n’est pas la seule surprise, puisque d’autres acteurs chevronnés figurent ici à contre-emploi : Steve Martin en détestable magnat du pétrole, Chris Tucker en impresario impuissant, Garrett Hedlund en sergent responsable et surtout Vin Diesel en officier philosophe. Ces choix de casting étonnants (et tous réussis !) ne sont pas un simple gimmick ; « Billy Lynn » est constellé de stéréotypes avec lesquels Ang Lee joue et qu’il prend à revers. ATTENTION SPOILERS – ATTENTION SPOILERS – ATTENTION SPOILERS La fin, par exemple, n’a rien de celle qu’on pourrait attendre ; entre la valorisation de la fraternité d’armes, l’affirmation que le PTSD n’est pas insurmontable, le rappel que la piste proposée par la sœur est bien une forme de lâcheté sinon de désertion. Le retour sous les drapeaux de Billy n’est pas montré comme une condamnation à mort (contrairement au final de Hair, par exemple), mais bien comme un engagement valeureux car choisi – contrairement au départ initial de Billy qui était plus ou moins contraint. FIN DES SPOILERS – FIN DES SPOILERS – FIN DES SPOILERS
Sur la forme, Ang Lee a bien dosé l’esthétisme de son image ; les outrances de Pi et la platitude de Brokeback Mountain sont loin, heureusement. Du point de vue technique, il a également souhaité repousser quelques limites en combinant ultra-haute fréquence d’image (120 par seconde !), définition 4K, et stéréoscopie 3D. On regrettera donc que ces choix qualitatifs ont été sacrifiés lors de sa sortie, à la fois à cause de la quasi-absence de promotion et du nombre réduit de salles, mais aussi en ne proposant que des copies en 2D, de définition et fréquence standard. Quel gâchis ! Est-ce qu’il dérangeait à ce point, ce film ? Ces amputations n’empêchent heureusement pas d’apprécier les fabuleux plans-séquences concoctés par le réalisateur, ni la riche colorimétrie de l’image. On ne peut que rêver de ce que des conditions optimales de projection auraient pu proposer. La politique vidéo semble hélas prolonger ce mépris du spectateur, du moins en France. En effet, l’éditeur a choisi de séparer et vendre séparément la version 3D et la copie 4K ultra HD. Heureusement, il existe en import compatible (blu-ray multi-zone) un coffret américain tout inclus (attention, cependant : la VF est québécoise).
