Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
A harrowing, gruesome, morbid tale of war.
Deserves its reputation as a classic.
The film's strength now derives less from its admittedly powerful but highly simplistic utterances about war as waste, than from a generally excellent set of performances (Ayres especially) and an almost total reluctance to follow normal plot structure.
Messrs. Milestone, Abbott and Anderson in this film have contributed a memorable piece of work to the screen.
