Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Blistering performances.

Man in Red Bandana a 9/11 movie, is sad at points but leaves you inspired and up-lifted. It's September 11th again. Reliving the day, I can feel the pain in the pit of my stomach rising up. I close my eyes as the movie opens, not wanting to see the plane crashing into the towers. The sounds penetrate my mind and I am back in 2001 in my home. I open my eyes and the story begins to unfold. Welles Remy Crowther, His name rolls around in my mind. I am jolted back to the present. Composed in my seat, I Focus again on the screen as Welles' life unfolds before me. Very soon I see, this is not just another 9/11 story. This is a story of a boy, who becomes a man. This is a story of a day in history where everything aligned, and brought Welles Remy Crowther to his greatest moment. "Man in Red Bandana" is a story of dreams realized, it renews our faith in the human spirit. Everything Welles did up until that day, was in preparation for the rescue that he led on 9/11. The red bandana represents his life. In it was contained all that Welles was and all that he wanted to be. In the red bandana inside his pocket, was the real Welles Crowther. The secret Welles carried was woven into the fiber of his bandana. Welles' message lives on through this Documentary of his life. "Man in Red bandana" teaches us to, "Dream big, set your goals high, work hard and never give up", never stop dreaming. Be who you are. Find your happiness. This is a small film with a really big heart. It is a film, I will never forget. Merel Fisher.

This is such an inspiring documentary and a must watch for all Americans. My husband was a marine and was deployed often after 9/11. I wanted to find a story for my sons that focused on the heroism, rather than the terrorism. This documentary helps all of us to remember the pure good in our fellow man and how we should strive to live up to the character of Welles every day.

After reading The Red Bandanna by Tom Rinaldi, I felt a strong urge to know more about Welles's story. The very next day I bought tickets to view Man in Red Bandana. I was 20 years old when 9/11 happened and I have not seen footage of the actual day since the first day when I watched the 2nd tower fall on TV. Re-watching the footage in the documentary brought me back to that time when my innocence of youth was forever changed.The documentary includes other survivors accounts of that day in the South Tower and how a man named Welles Crowther risked his own life to save others. He was only 24 years old with a life ahead of him and it pains me that he, along with the others who lost their lives that day, will never get another day. I am grateful that his documentary was made. It will never bring Welles' or the others back, but it gave the Crowther's a special gift- their son will be a legacy for years to come. I know that does not make it any easier, but I hope they found peace in knowing they raised a magnificent, selfless man.

The story of Welles Crowther is simply amazing. Welles saved, at least, 10 people in the upper reaches of the South Tower on 9/11. However, no one knew what happened to him until 8 months later. Welles' mom was reading the NY Times and read about a man wearing a red bandanna who saved people. She knew instantly that this was her son. The film shows all the heroic actions that Welles displayed that day and then shows how he has assumed a folklore status throughout the country. The final ending just blew me away!
