Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
While it's easy to sneer at the romantic subplot, it serves to humanize the characters and convey their intense fear. Otherwise we know too little about them - beyond the fact they are all impossibly good-looking.

rotten:
A lot of the time the experience of the movie is like looking at a very long wobbly rectangle, and the frequently abrupt cutting doesn't help.

rotten:
Anthropoid reduces a riveting and resonant piece of WW2 history to moral muddle and monotonous filmmaking. Talk about an opportunity missed.

fresh:
Though Anthropoid lacks narrative ambition, the film justifies its reason for being thanks to a devastating final half-hour.

The movie builds - something infinitely preferable to a bold, brash beginning followed by a descent into anti-climax.
