The Sand Pebbles Ratings & Reviews
Greenwich Village Gazette
Eric Lurio
Steve McQueen Rocks!!!!!!!!!
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Overlong, moderately entertaining "epic"
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The drama wavers between being compelling and reaching too far for greater historical significance, that it loses its bearings.
KPBS.org
Beth Accomando
Steve McQueen is great, and Candace Bergen is breathtakingly beautiful.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Steve McQueen gives a dominant performance in Robert Wise's ambitious but flawed period drama, which offers interesting parallels to the US involvment in Vietnam.
Groucho Reviews
Peter Canavese
A fine old-school picture...elevated further by its progressive themes. [Blu-Ray]

Steve Crum
Underrated Robert Wise classic starring McQueen in his finest acting role.
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
Though the conclusion is abrupt, the journey is riveting, with expert direction by Robert Wise and a proficient screenplay by Robert Anderson.
Apollo Guide
Scott Weinberg
Classic war tale suffers from unwieldly running time.
Cleveland Press
Tony Mastroianni
The total effect of Sand Pebbles is uneven though gripping most of the way.
The New Republic
Pauline Kael
When a movie is this big (and over three hours long) we sit there thinking, "What's it all for?"
