Rolling Stone -
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 -
This is a solid albeit slow-building film with few dull moments.

|
New York Magazine (Vulture) -
It’s a graceful, engaging film — I enjoyed it. But it could have been called "The Tasteful Dozen."

|
Village Voice -
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 -
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.
