War is hell and for a little over two and a half hours, All Quiet on the Western Front displays its ghastly horrors without ever venturing into voyeuristic consumption, opting instead to unsettle its audience with bleak realities and sobering truths. Read full review

This is a film about the boys who don’t come home, and its story proves both deeply affecting—and surprisingly timeless. Read full review

Based on Erich Maria Remarque’s 1929 World War I novel, the German film on Netflix is unsparing in its portrayal of the horrors of battle. It’s sensory-overload, tough-though-rewarding viewing. Read full review

Edward Berger returns to the German source material, adding some twists and turns, in a wrenching, visceral adaptation of a work that is almost a century old, written when ruined veterans could still hear the sound of the gunfire in their dreams. Read full review

Nobody could mistake All Quiet on the Western Front for anything other than an anti-war film, but the deafening, careering action — shot in predictably desaturated tones by James Friend — still works to create an unhealthy surge in the viewer. Read full review

Mick LaSalle

There are dull stretches — interrupted by moments of terror — but that’s not really a complaint for a movie such as this. “All Quiet on the Western” is only partly a narrative. It’s also an immersive experience, an invitation to walk in someone else’s shoes, albeit from the safe side of a screen. Read full review

Filmmakers have arguably lost the plot, turning “War is hell” into a “Can you top this?” competition. Read full review

Excellent movie. Good acting, amazing action scenes and good atmosphere. The Saving Private Ryan from First World War for shore.

Extremely well made film based on the classic novel and made previously into excellent films also. Sadly, the cast seems to be made up entirely of Germans? With NO diversity at all??? Apart from this appalling oversight the movie is a must watch - 9 stars

Really great visuals and sound, the story also (I mean it is based on the existing story). Really shows how the war can impact lives and whats more this time showing it from the losers side in WW1 , not like usually from winners.

On peut rivaliser avec une grosse production hollywoodienne en terme de grand spectacle, de mise en scène et d’ambitions… il s’agit en effet d’une production allemande (avec aussi le pognon de Netfric bien sûr).

Une production, soit dit en passant, qui n’est pas sans rappeler -en tant que film crépusculaire- le fameux « La Chute’, l’autre film allemand, fort brillant sur la fin de la Seconde… Mais ici, il s’agit de la Première, une guerre abjecte, une boucherie pas croyable (et pourtant…)… et pourtant, ce ne fut pas la dernière. Le film insiste bien sûr assez lourdement sur les erreurs qui ont été commises (par les Alliés) et cet armistice qui avait tout du ‘diktat » intenable (größe malheur aux vaincus !).

Le plus gros défaut du film reste d’ailleurs son dernier tiers ou quart peut-être, sorte d’épilogue qui n’en finit pas d’en finir… même si on apprécie toujours cette ambiance délétère, inhumaine, cette folie qui va durer jusqu’à la dernière minute… Quelques dernières minutes encore brutales et bizarrement un peu mal filmées mais c’est vraiment l’exception bien heureusement, car le film se signale surtout par la rigueur et le soin de sa réalisation : c’est clairement du beau travail, propre et net, très éloigné et infiniment mieux que le boulot de merde d’un Spielberg sur le Soldat Ryan par exemple !

La guerre est donc très bien rendue si je puis dire, assez frontale sans pour autant verser dans la complaisance plus ou moins putassière ; un juste équilibre bien trouvé également entre l’action et la psychologie des personnages, incarnés par des acteurs très convaincants. A part ces soucis de rythme et quelques maladresses de scénario (sont-ce des maladresses ou des choix discutables qui nuisent à la crédibilité, ça reste à voir… -cf la fin avec le personnage principal), le film reste impressionnant et souvent saisissant.… Expand

Looking a this movie i can say Hollywood is fcked, this is better than 99% of what MODERN Hollywood does (in production quality) on pair with the levels of the OLD Hollywood. Really impressed on that department. But the rest i am not that impressed tho... I don't like how the narrative isLooking a this movie i can say Hollywood is fcked, this is better than 99% of what MODERN Hollywood does (in production quality) on pair with the levels of the OLD Hollywood.

You don't get to care about the character or their stories too much.… Expand

1917 was a good WW1 film. This movie is really boring, long, and moves incredibly slow.
