Westfront 1918 Reviews
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
remains a powerful testament to its physical, psychological, and spiritual horrors
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
Often challenging for a modern audience to engage with, and never an easy watch, this is one for the connoisseurs and for those seeking to understand a conflict which no longer has any survivors.
The Pitch
Eric Melin
Rather than force common war story beats onto the characters, Pabst employs a more observational tone. His camera was free to move along the surface of the trenches, giving the full wide expanse of what the soldiers were experiencing.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
An early major accomplishment in sound cinema from Pabst, the exacting poignancy of Westfront 1918 transpires in its haunting final frames.
New York Times
Walter Goodman
The truth of the movie is all in the trenches.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
The always protean Pabst made a brilliant adjustment to sound.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
In his first talkie, G.W. Pabst plunks down in the winding trenches for a grunt's view of dirt and shrapnel
