It's a movie that parades authenticity, but never settles on its own point of view.

Gettysburg succeeds as a motion picture event, and as a re-creation of a pivotal chapter of American history.
Daniel M. Kimmel, Variety

Mr. Daniels's luminous performance as the heroic colonel dominates ... half of the film. And when the actor all but disappears in Part 2, he is sorely missed.
Stephen Holden, New York Times

While sincerity obviously can't guarantee quality, it's still a refreshing step up from the blatant commercialism of most West Coast media projects.
