Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Joffe, working from his own script, presents the men's lives as evidence of difficult choices, but this pedantic movie is never fully invested in any of them.
– Joe Neumaier,
New York Daily News,
7 May 2011
rotten:
Few films about the Spanish Civil War have been any good -- Pan's Labyrinth being the big exception.
– Peter Rainer,
Christian Science Monitor,
6 May 2011
rotten:
Joffe is out of depth when it comes to Escriva's religious experiences. It's clear he wants the film to show how faith works within us, but he does it by resorting to the most hackneyed imagery.
– Tirdad Derakhshani,
Philadelphia Inquirer,
6 May 2011
rotten:
Clunk, clunk, squish. That is the sound of the dead language in Roland Joffe's screenplay for "There Be Dragons" as it tramples his would-be epic of the Spanish Civil War into an indigestible pulp.
– Stephen Holden,
New York Times,
6 May 2011
rotten:
I like grandeur and richly nuanced storytelling. I also like lobster bisque. But I don't want to drink a gallon of it in a single sitting.
