“A rare work of art that thrills the senses and the mind…
Worthy of that overused superlative MASTERPIECE!
Manohla Dargis, NEW YORK TIMES

“A STUNNING LOST MASTERPIECE!
...
An expert mix of political intrigue and explosive action!”
Joshua Rothkopf, TIME OUT NEW YORK

“EXTRAORDINARY!
My greatest movie treat and surprise this year”
David Ansen, NEWSWEEK

“AWESOME! A TENSE, UNDERSTATED THRILLER!”

NEW YORK MAGAZINE

" ! AN INTIMATE EPIC! EXCRUCIATINGLY TENSE AND NEVER LESS THAN HEARTBREAKINGLY HUMAN! ALREADY ON MY YEAR'S 10 BEST LIST!"
Glenn Kenny, PREMIERE

"A LOST MASTERPIECE... NOT JUST ONE OF THE GREAT FILMS OF THE 60s, BUT ONE OF THE GREAT FILMS - PERIOD.
  The chance to discover it at the beginning of the 21st century, in an era when we think we've seen it all, is an unquantifiable privilege!”
Stephanie Zacharek, SALON.COM 

" ! A WHITE-KNUCKLER ALL THE WAY!
Has more to tell us about the internal toll of war and taking a stand than anything Hollywood has produced!
Jami Bernard, NY Daily News

A TAUT TALE OF INTRIGUE AND DARING! A KNOCKOUT CAST!
It isn’t clear why it has taken so long for Army of Shadows to reach our shores. But why ask questions? Just be thankful.”
V.A. Musetto, NEW YORK POST

“A RESTORATION OF BEAUTY THAT DESERVES TO BE SEEN!”

Stanley Kauffmann, THE NEW REPUBLIC

–And certainly one of the great films of the sixties”
Amy Taubin, FILM COMMENT

“A FILM TO BE SEEN AND SAVORED!”
Andrew Sarris, NEW YORK OBSERVER

“MELVILLE’S CAREER-CAPPING EPIC!
Moving from rainy prison camps through sun-baked Marseilles and blitzed London to the bleak windswept towns of northern France, Army of Shadows sustains an atmosphere of total paranoia.”
J. Hoberman, VILLAGE VOICE

" ! A RIVETING HISTORICAL FILM NOIR!”
Boxoffice

" ! ONE OF THE GREAT WWII EPICS! DON’T MISS!”
J. Carr, AM NEW YORK
