Oh! What a Lovely War Ratings & Reviews
The New Yorker
Pauline Kael
Oh! What a Lovely War repeats the satirical forms already exhausted in Richard Lester's How I Won the War and Tony Richardson's The Charge of the Light Brigade.
Los Angeles Free Press
Richard Whitehall
It wears a heart so bleedingly on its sleeve one is almost blackmailed into praising it.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
It is an elaborately staged tableau, a dazzling use of the camera to achieve essentially theatrical effects. And judged on that basis, Richard Attenborough has given us a breathtaking evening.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
[Attenborough] has chosen to make a big, elaborate, sometimes realistic film whose elephantine physical proportions and often brilliant all-star cast simply overwhelm the material with a surfeit of good intentions.
TV Guide
Richard Attenborough's directorial debut is a sprawling, highly stylized musical satire of WWI featuring some of Britain's very finest actors.
Variety
Variety Staff
Dedicated, exhilarating, shrewd, mocking, funny, emotional, witty, poignant and technically brilliant.
Cinema Sight
Wesley Lovell
An anti-war musical whose originality has never been successfully repeated.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Remains the most interesting and daring film Attenborough ever made.
