Metacritic
This movie left me reeling with turmoil and confusion, with feelings of sadness and despair. Those are the notes it strives for.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
I wouldn't go so far as to classify Jacob's Ladder as a masterpiece, but it is smart and compelling and unquestionably worth a first or second look.

The ending of Jacob's Ladder, when it finally arrives, is, like much of the film, both quaint and devastating.
