- 80Screen DailyFionnuala HalliganScreen DailyFionnuala HalliganA complex, steady, deeply intelligent film with a chilling resonance today.
- 75The Film StageJared MobarakThe Film StageJared MobarakThis is powerful stuff that transcends time and place despite the production design being impeccably executed.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterJonathan HollandThe Hollywood ReporterJonathan HollandAmbitious in scope, carefully crafted and featuring several fine performances ... But despite the worthy seriousness of its intentions and the parallels with the present it cleverly draws at every turn, the final impression is of dramatic opportunities left unexplored. While War’s dutiful sense of responsibility to its source material is laudable, it feels limiting.
