	Sunday Bloody Sunday
		The conservatives felt that the film's amoral, non-judgmental approach, as exemplified by its treatment of the two relationships as precisely equivalent, was morally reprehensible.
		The film was was otherwise unmemorable, and would have died a quiet death if every shot had been exactly the same, and every word of dialogue had been exactly the same, but the two old ladies had both been ladies.
		Sunday Bloody Sunday is a meditational character study, and it’s a brilliantly intelligent and melancholy film, but there’s something missing in the momentum department, and the meandering branch-off structure of the second act makes the last half hour a bit of an endurance test.

	Tucson Weekly: Sunday, Bloody Sunday (October 31 - November 6, 2002)
		Bloody Sunday is a disturbing, dramatically intense, and expertly photographed retelling of the events of January 30, 1972, in Derry, Northern Ireland.
		The naturalness of the film causes the deaths of the unnamed victims to carry more weight than a two-hour crying scene by Julia Roberts in an American melodrama, and we're spared the speechifying and sappy music that most Hollywood films use to yank your emotional chain.
		Bloody Sunday is a bit slow to build, and the initial scenes are hard to understand due to the heavy Irish accents, but it's definitely worthwhile.

	Sunday Bloody Sunday (1971) - A Review by David Nusair
		Sunday Bloody Sunday is almost a prototypical '70s movie - it's a slow and meandering character study of three individuals that aren't all that interesting.
		If the film had been content to be about that, and excised the myriad of extraneous plot threads, Sunday Bloody Sunday probably would've been a lot more entertaining.
		Sunday Bloody Sunday should be applauded for refusing to dumb down the material to appeal to younger viewers, but the film's '70s excess prevents it from ever becoming anything more than a time-capsule curiosity.

	DVD Verdict Review - Sunday Bloody Sunday
		For a film straining to express an air of intellectual sophistication, Alex and Daniel come off as children of the bourgeoisie whose mindsets, however they may view themselves, are decidedly bourgeois.
		The film's frank yet casual depiction of a homosexual relationship was a large part of its acclaim.
		Sunday Bloody Sunday is a painful exercise in pretension.

	Sunday Bloody Sunday (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Bloody Sunday (2002) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		I have seen "Bloody Sunday" twice now - once on the big screen and once on DVD - and read Don Mullen's book, "Eyewitness Bloody Sunday." This movie is a very realistic depiction of the defining moment of the "troubles" in Northern Ireland.
		The film jumps so frequently from scene to scene that at times it is distracting, though I was much less annoyed by this the second time around.
		The film is a powerful object lesson concerning the misuse of force, and one that governments everywhere - including my own country, the United States - should take to heart.

		Whereas Alex remains tortured most of the film, Daniel ends the film with a speech directly to the camera about the limitations of all relationships,the compromises we have to make in all relationships, and the responsibility to extract from each human experience as much joy and meaning as is possible.
		The film was directed by John Schlesinger as his follow-up to the Oscar-winning "Midnight Cowboy." It's a solid drama of obvious interest for its early, relatively non-judgmental depiction of a gay relationship.
		The Penelope Gilliatt-penned script (her only film) is top-notch and received numerous awards (National Society of Film Critics, Writers Guild of America) as well as an Oscar nomination.

	Las Vegas Weekly: Bloody Sunday (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		"Bloody Sunday" is neither a fictionalized account nor a documentary of that fateful day; the events that transpired are reconstructed in real time, lending the film an authenticity in its detachment to a particular perspective.
		Using hand-held cameras and drab hues throughout (replicating old BBC news footage), the film volleys its focus between both sides of the standoff, in some cases using relatives of actual victims and former soldiers to portray the marchers and the British paratroopers who gunned them down.
		The film opens with Cooper announcing plans for a peaceful march—both to protest the British policy of internment without trial, which was installed the previous summer, and to demand decent public housing for poor Catholics.

	slant // magazine.com: Film Review - Bloody Sunday
		That director Paul Greengrass's gripping Bloody Sunday could easily pass for a documentary on the subject is a testament to the immediacy of this vérité exercise.
		The film's details are rich yet subtle (a local theater in Derry plays two films: The Magnificent Seven and Sunday Bloody Sunday) and the sense of dread is overwhelming.
		The film's ultra-realism echoes Michael Winterbottom's polemical Welcome to Sarajevo except Greengrass wrings more naturalistic performances from his actors; as Protestant peacekeeper Ivan Cooper, a brilliant James Nesbitt is every bit as frazzled by constantly buzzing phone-lines as he is by the bullets that kill his countrymen.

		His subsequent films were a mixed bag but the filmmaker (who died this past July) at least tried to mess up the lives of his characters with the tense nature of human relationships.
		The film concerns a trio of main characters: Daniel Hirsh (Peter Finch) is the wealthy doctor who spends a lot of time listening to classical music alone in his apartment.
		Confusing the film a bit is a series of tangents that build all sorts of cinematic tension but distract from the emotional core.

		Elkin is clearly on the vanguard of this social dissolution: he has no real emotional ties to either of his older lovers, and the suggestion is that the world is his, leaving his more traditional inamoratas to yearn for an emotional connection that will not come.
		Sunday Bloody Sunday is professionally and "tastefully" mounted.
		Sunday Bloody Sunday is showing its age on MGM's new DVD: the1.66:1 non-anamorphic widescreen transfer appears to have been mastered from a faded source.

	Jim's Reviews - Sunday Bloody Sunday
		Although the film does not reflect my personal experience (whew!), I like how it opens me to three complex, fascinating and very real individuals, even as it uses all of the resources of cinema – an extraordinarily rich interplay of drama, image and sound – to dig beneath the surface of their lives.
		But in a film this emotionally, and thematically, rich, there are always several "however's" – so, however: part of the appeal of America for Bob is it's promise of new experiences that are artistic, financial, and perhaps amatory.
		Alex (with her non-gender-specific name) is the fiery heart of this film, as she moves from quiet desperation to intense reflectiveness (which Schlesinger visualizes brilliantly, as we will see a bit later) to delightfully scathing wit.

	Sunday Bloody Sunday Movie: Sunday Bloody Sunday DVD is available from Bestprices.com
		Directed by John Schlesinger, SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY is a sociologically astute drama about the bisexual love triangle between three characters navigating the changing mores of the early-1970s sexual revolution.
		Considered groundbreaking for its frank depiction of homosexuality (as well as featuring one of the first onscreen same-sex kisses), the film's nonjudgmental approach to its characters' seething loneliness is shaped by Penelope Gilliatt's intelligent script, Schlesinger's fluid direction, and the disarmingly honest performances of its two leads.
		SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY deftly straddles the line between character study and social commentary, offering mature drama that is both specific to its era and disconcertingly prescient.

		If the film’s genteel brand of storytelling isn’t cathartic or philosophically satisfying, we still take it seriously enough to judge it by our own lives, as we do with the best art.
		For the film’s characters live an existence as complex and seemingly arbitrary as our own, and they react honestly and often humorously to their no-win situations.
		However, in the seven days the film depicts of a 10-day span, the circle is in constant danger of being squared by anxiety.

		The film is made with a documentary style--scenes stop abruptly and then return to the exact same spot.
		Bloody Sunday was the day when finally the world opened their eyes and saw how brutal and disgusting the Brtis really were.I'm not an anti- british guy but you have to admit they did put us through alot.

		The song is based on a true incident in Irish history sometime in the 1970's and the film "Bloody Sunday" is an amazing and reflective picture about that event.
		Although as much a "war film" as a historical period piece, the film is also deeply human and complex in its characterizations of the people involved.
		From start to finish, the film is aggressive in its presentation of events to us as they unfold on the fateful day.

		The film holds up really well today with its complex characters and lack of stereotypes and simple judgments about people.
		There is also enormous charm and humor in the film, especially in the supporting players.
		The imagery in the film stays with me--the dog killed by a car, the Mummy's milk in the fridge, the inner workings of telephone switching, driving through the rain in London, men and women making love, precocious children smoking dope, and so much more.

		Part of the great line of bisexual, grown-up love triangle films that includes Victim and Making Love, Sunday Bloody Sunday has the blue ribbon patina of a masterpiece, but grinds to a halt more than once.
		Nevertheless, Sunday Bloody Sunday has more than enough quality points going for it, one of which being a typically marvellous Glenda Jackson performance.
		The emotion of the film is penetrating and it is an original and unique piece.

		This film follows the fascinating relationship between three Londoners--a 50 plus homosexual man, a 40ish straight woman, and the 20 something young man they are both in love with.
		Firstly, the film is long and somewhat slow-moving, which is a fairly minor complaint.
		More importantly, the character with whom we are supposed to identify the most, and certainly the one with the most screen time, is Glenda Jackson's Alex, and she proves to be the most frustrating of the three.

		In fact, the first image on the screen is that of a bloodied face, which proves an apt icon, or maybe the ugly equivalent of Leo the Lion growling at the start of an MGM movie.
		Perhaps the best scene in the film is the one in which Manson verbally baptizes her into the cult, whispering mystical mumbo jumbo and other gibberish that sound seductive to her and twittering his fingers in the air, partly as a prelude to sex.
		Among the gimmicks employed is reversing the film during violent moments so it looks like a photographic negative -- apparently to indicate somebody's state of mind but just calling attention to itself.
