Reviews

Village Voice -
Lush with feeling that could easily be mistaken for sentimentality, Stalingrad is more like a 19th-century novel than a 21st-century blockbuster. It's theatrical and intense, sometimes in an overbearing way, but it's never boring.

|
The Hollywood Reporter -
It is a strange cross-breed between an old-fashioned WWII epic full of genre cliches and a modern update whose meticulous historical recreation is frighteningly real.
|
|
Entertainment Weekly -
Stalingrad is a 3-D epic that's one-dimensional.
|
|
McClatchy-Tribune News Service -
In detail and combat spectacle, Stalingrad is hard to beat. And whatever its failings, one can’t help but be curious about a story as connected to national identity as this one, a film that like today’s Russia, feels more Soviet than Russian.

|
Total Film -
A solid enough war flick, but Spielberg doesn’t have too much to worry about yet.
