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.
