Customer Reviews
crazy good
Robert King is such a likable ambitious interesting guy! He goes on a crazy journey that you really do have to see to believe. It is truly inspiring and touching and very well made!
Best War Documentary Ever
I loved this film so much that i thought i would share with you what the experts are saying:
"Completely blown away by it. It's beautifully put together, and by far the best war doc I have seen ... It's beautifully constructed with the reveal of his wife and son at the end, and his development as a character works so well. I dread to think of the work and time that went into it but it is a brilliant film..."
Nick Broomfield, Film-maker.
"Stylishly filmed, laced through with humor, some horror, and the ever-present whiff of despair, Shooting Robert King makes for compulsive viewing. The life of Robert King is, in the end, an Everyman's life, lived out against some of the largest and most incomprehensible sadnesses of our time, and that, somehow, is also deeply entertaining."
Jon Lee Anderson, New Yorker Magazine writer, Author.
"Darkly comic, as if "Scoop" was reimagined for the 21st century as a gonzo acid trip through some of the most hellish wars in memory, Shooting Robert King is also a moving story of love and redemption... I've never seen a better film about journalism and war."
Peter Bergen, Chief CNN Terrorist Analyst, Author.
A well done film
i thought this was a well edited film - Great story line about a troubled soul who used photography to make his mark in the world. Roberts photos are amazing. Can't be faint at heart to see this film. It was also interesting to see the days of shooting film early in the film.
