"...Unfolds as vividly and gracefully as the best 19th-century novel....It's Torreton's fiery turn that yields the timeless truth..." -- Rating: A-
"...A vast yet subtle film....[Tavernier] creates one of his most memorably ambiguous characters while also giving the film's battle scenes an unusual, visceral style....[Torreton] powerfully embodies the film's central questions..."
"...It brings home the brutal senselessness of war by immersing the viewer in frighteningly vivid battle scenes....It also strikes a haunting tone..."
