“Does justice to this significant event in modern history by resisting the urge to deliver a final verdict on how or why it happened.” - Herald Sun (Australia)

“A tentative mixture of tearjerker and disaster movie, cautious due to the requirement that it bear witness to the true-life heroism, staying within the tonal range that is sanctioned for American films depicting 9/11.” - Film4
