One of the great films from what proved to be a great year for cinema, The Killing Fields hasn't lost any of its power over the ensuing 30 years.
April 09, 2008
The screen is swamped by a bathetic, self-preening sententiousness.
January 13, 2014
Every scene of The Killing Fields (and every participant in its making) is in service of showing how abruptly a seemingly safe and vital individual can have everything essential stripped away.

The movie is diffuse and wandering. It's someone telling a long, interesting story who can't get to the point.
January 09, 2015
Ngor's naturalistic and empathic portrayal of his character's desperate fight for survival is the key to this film's visceral power.

Few feature films have captured a nation's agony more dramatically than Roland Joffé's The Killing Fields.
August 25, 2008
It must be nerve-racking for the producers to offer a tale so lacking in standard melodramatic satisfactions. But the result is worth it, for this is the clearest film statement yet on how the nature of heroism has changed in this totalitarian century.

The film's overall thrust -- angry, intelligent, compassionate -- makes this producer Puttnam's finest movie to date.

If you see no more than one film a year, make this the one for 1984.

The intent and outward trappings are all impressively in place, but at its heart there's something missing.
September 16, 2015
[A] gripping, intelligent, provocative drama.
October 23, 2004
The best moments are the human ones, the conversations, the exchanges of trust, the waiting around, the sudden fear, the quick bursts of violence, the desperation.
