Critic Reviews

Hauntingly tells a story older than the Odyssey and as timely as today's body count from Iraq.Full Review

Ruthe Stein
San Francisco Chronicle

Rapturously beautiful, startlingly audacious and often very funny, the film employs many of the techniques that were used so pleasingly in "Amélie."Full Review

Joe Morgenstern
Wall Street Journal

This is a movie that considers graphic violence with a refined taste for the sensuous: Guts spill, blood spurts, corpses stink, but there is a handsome, absurdist humanity to the way Jeunet (who wrote the script with Guillaume Laurant) maps out the crossroads of human carnage and human caring.Full Review

Lisa Schwarzbaum
Entertainment Weekly

Told with a blend of visual mastery and emotional intimacy, ambitious venture sustains a special melding of romance and pragmatism that should engage discerning audiences.Full Review

Variety

In its insistence on the centrality of the war to the collective consciousness of mankind, it's of a piece with "The English Patient," rather than "Saving Private Ryan."Full Review
