Reviews

TV Guide Magazine -
A powerful anti-war film.
|
|
Variety -
Soberly and intelligently examines the fear, frustration, anxiety, animosity and boredom of waiting to advance into the terrifying other world that lies over the lip of the trenches.
|
|
Village Voice -
The acting, by a large cast of little-known young Brits chewing on South London accents like dog bones, is uniformly splendiferous.

|
New York Daily News -
By the time they're ready to leave their trench, we're not at all ready to see them go.

Boyd would be smart to add a little sound and fury next time around. War is hell, after all.
