Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Well acted and, within its limited terms, well made, Gallipoli represents a failure of nerve as well as design.

rotten:
The central section devoted to training in Egypt sags badly through its crass buddy antics and its crude caricatures of wogs and pommies.

fresh:
Weir's work has a delicacy, gentleness, even wispiness that would seem not well suited to the subject. And yet his film has an uncommon beauty, warmth, and immediacy, and a touch of the mysterious, too.
