...Foxtrot will surprise and enrage you. Yet there’s a spoonful of sugar to make the medicine go down. With caustic wit and fantastic performances for all involved, the film is destined to be an anti-war classic.

The National Board of Review [kårede] 'Foxtrot' til årets bedste udenlandske film. Det er ikke et tosset valg, da Foxtrot på eminent vis forener den klassiske tragedie med et moderne hverdagsdrama tilsat en syrlig sjat af absurd komedie.

Maoz, der både er instruktør og forfatter, har struktureret sin fortælling som en græsk tragedie i tre akter, og han veksler undervejs sømløst mellem sorg og humor, hvilket kun hjælper med at understrege, hvor grotesk alting er.

...en film om skæbne, om hvordan skæbnen grotesk og intrikat fucker med menneskene. Men også en film, der selv fucker med skæbnebegrebet.

...inte bara självkritisk och politiskt relevant, utan bjuder även på visuell njutning och psykologisk djupdykning ner i våra familjerelationer när de skakas om i grunden av trauma.
