Cast:
3 stars out of 5 -- "A haunting, lyrical meditation on the futility of war....It's seamlessly spliced with archive footage of training missions and the D-Day invasion..."
-- Carmen Gray
, (Total Film)
4 stars out of 5 -- "[An] understated account of one young soldier's preparation for D-Day. The results are powerful, utterly authentic and deeply moving." -- Andrew Sumner , (Uncut) 4 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t seamlessly blends genuine World War II footage with a fictional cast of tommies-in-training, simultaneously creating a documentary where the characters are 'fictional,' and a war movie where the 'action is real." -- Empire Staff , (Empire)
