The glacial pacing can be an irritant as the film unfolds -- I repeatedly wanted to speed things up -- but Army of Shadows won't leave you alone after you've seen it.

From the first sight of German soldiers goose-stepping past the Arc de Triomphe to a postscript that spells out the fate of characters whose moral confusion is all too real, Army of Shadows is a movie of its time -- and ours.
– Peter Travers,
Rolling Stone,

For anyone interested in the impact of war on ordinary men, Army of Shadows proves a sobering and invaluable experience.
