Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
It's an excellent film, with Renoir's usual looping line and deft shifts of tone, though today the balance of critical opinion has shifted in favor of the greater darkness and filigree of The Rules of the Game.

fresh:
It's still one of the key humanist expressions to be found in movies: sad, funny, exalting, and glorious.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,

fresh:
Funny, heart-wrenching, nail-biting, caustic and profound, touting the futility of armed combat while turning imprisonment and escape into a microcosm for society's aspirations and contradictions.

fresh:
A model of simplicity and grace, with emotional effects that move you when you least expect it, the kind of great film that only a master can pull off.
– Kenneth Turan,

fresh:
It's among the most understated anti-war films ever made, effortlessly humanistic but far too subtle to indulge in preaching.
