Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
Who knew? The work of the Monuments Men is fresh territory for film, and Clooney builds the story with intriguing detail and scope.

Chicago Sun-Times - Richard Roeper
This is a solid albeit slow-building film with few dull moments.
70
New York Magazine (Vulture) - David Edelstein
It’s a graceful, engaging film — I enjoyed it. But it could have been called "The Tasteful Dozen."
70
Village Voice - Stephanie Zacharek
The Monuments Men fails in its grand ambitions, but it's still satisfying in bits and pieces, like a busted statue. Even a tribute made of shining fragments counts for something.

The Playlist - Drew Taylor
Turns out it was even trickier than originally imagined and that for all of its best efforts, The Monuments Men remains an unwieldy, overtly sentimental (but still emotionally distant) epic.
