Reviews:

Oscar time is ideal for catching up with Edward Berger’s ferocious anti-war epic about young German soldiers dying in WW1 trenches. The German-language film boasts a wow nine nominations, including Best Picture, and tragically its message never gets old. - ABC News

Berger’s film is a powerful plea for pacifism that comes riding on a trenchant critique of the inhumanity of statecraft. One in which the enemy is not necessarily out there across the border but within. - New Indian Express

Remarque wrote his novel hoping it would be the last word on war; for anyone who has never seen a war movie, maybe this should be their first. - Ty Burr

Told from a German perspective, this version of All Quiet on the Western Front is the most brutal and harrowing in showing the horrors of World War I. The movie has well-crafted technical assets, but the personalities of the characters are underdeveloped. - Culture Mix
