Critic Reviews

Bosley Crowther, New York Times
La Guerre Est Finie is a drama above political prejudices. It is a powerful study of a man's commitment to a consuming and bewildering belief.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
He unexpectedly gives us not only psychology but an exciting thriller, done with great artistry.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
A landmark film by Alain Resnai.
Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
It does remain tense throughout.
, TV Guide's Movie Guide
Not Resnais' greatest effort, but a provocative portrait of political rebels and a challenging anti-war film just the same.
