All Quiet on the Western Front Reviews
Slant Magazine
Rob Humanick
The rawness of the audio eradicates any lingering notion that war is romantic or exciting, and at times suggests the very battered eardrums of those engaged in combat.
Chicago Tribune
Mae Tinee
Too much cannot be said for the acting and direction of All Quiet on the Western Front. It is almost impossible to believe that some of the battle scenes were staged.
Detroit Free Press
Ella H. McCormick
All Quiet on the Western Front will grip you and leave an indelible mark upon your soul.
Miami Herald
Jefferson Bell
[All Quiet on the Western Front] strips war of all its glory and bares its sickening brutality with a tragic grimness that spares nothing and leaves the spectator shaken and speechless.
Los Angeles Times
Edwin Schallert
How it was passible to attain such remarkable accuracy in the battle episodes is a story in itself. But the delicate and intimate touches in the production are exceptionally fine, and though the story is somber there is the relieving humor here and there.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Robert Randol
There is not much characterization in the picture. This is another reason why it is not a masterpiece. Many times it seems like a news reel actually taken at the front during 1917. It is this photographic detail which limits it as a work of art.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Inquirer Staff
All Quiet on the Western Front is unquestionably the greatest screen document of war and its bitter, terrifying futility that has yet been presented.
Boston Globe
Globe Staff
All Quiet on the Western Front is beautifully photographed, and the difficult trench scenes have been reproduced with distinctness and clearness of detail.
Orange County Register
OC Register Staff
Lewis Milestone has done a magnificent work as director. The broad sweep of war is never allowed to obscure the human beings whose fate is the foremost consideration in the picture.
New York Times
Walter Goodman
The lovely, terrible final image... is as heartbreaking in 1988 as it was a half century ago.
New York Daily News
Irene Thirer
So magnificent, so powerful, that it hardly behooves mere words to tell of its heart-rending appeal, of its dramatic fire, its breath-taking battle shots in which men stab and kill each other, for the glory of war.
TIME Magazine
TIME Staff
From such grisly materials the popular cinema is rarely drawn. The film is monumental in the courage that risked its manufacture.
Variety
Variety Staff
A harrowing, gruesome, morbid tale of war.
Washington Post
Don B. Reed
Here is a photoplay which carries a wallop in every scene. Without doubt, it is as mighty a weapon against war as any infernal machine might be for conflict. After seeing it, there can be few to argue in favor of shedding the blood of any nation's youth.
New York Times
Mordaunt Hall
Messrs. Milestone, Abbott and Anderson in this film have contributed a memorable piece of work to the screen.
Every Movie Has a Lesson
Don Shanahan
It enormously earns its reverence and celebrated place among war films and epics. Make no mistake. This film's resonance has not diminished with time or changing movie tastes.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Deserves its reputation as a classic.
Illustrated Daily News (Los Angeles)
Eleanor Barnes
If ever there was a play aimed to bring about permanent peace, this Universal picture, directed by Lewis Milestone and produced by Junior Laemmle, is it.
Battleship Pretension
David Bax
In a perfect world... this would be the war movie to end all war movies, so definite and forceful is it in its anti-war stance, while also exhibiting such grace as to place it among the best cinema has to offer in any genre.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
All Quiet on the Western Front is the definitive World War I motion picture, the best of a surprisingly small class of movies.
