Gallipoli Reviews

This is a stunning film, widely acclaimed and rightfully considered today to be one of Australia’s all-time best

| Original Score: 10/10 | Aug 16, 2024

For its flaws, Gallipoli is consistently interesting, and attractive to look at.

| Sep 9, 2022

It maintains interest throughout, without ever being a particularly gripping, dramatic experience.

Peter Weir concludes his movie by leaving promises unfulfilled. But it's precisely that absurdity, that emptiness, that he had set out to communicate. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Aug 23, 2019

Gallipoli, like most recent Australian films such as Breaker Morant and The Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith, is fastidiously well-made and furthers the boast that Australian actors, down to the smallest bit player, can do no wrong.

There was a humanity in Gallipoli that moved me because it wasn't just a clinical exercise but a story of 2 young men who wanted to run but ended up being unable to outrace the foolish decisions of their generals.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Feb 28, 2019

Gallipoli is a predictable war movie filled with all the gung-ho cliches of the genre -- and I loved it.

| Jun 29, 2018

It moved me so terribly.

| Jul 7, 2017

Gallipoli was, and is, a triumph.

| Jul 7, 2017

Gallipoli remains one of the better World War I dramas yet made, well worth revisiting.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jul 7, 2017

Although we've seen this story before, it is told exceptionally well here.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 7, 2017

Weir's objective was not to show us Gallipoli through a documentary lens, but with an artist's vision. He has succeeded magnificently.

| Jul 7, 2017

One of the most elegiac anti-war films ever made.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 7, 2017

Classy and lifeless.

| Jul 7, 2017

A haunting and moving tribute to the Australians who sacrificed their lives in WWI.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 7, 2017

Few films impact the national psyche with as much force as Peter Weir's 1981 hit.

| Jul 7, 2017

Richly deserves its place at the top.

| Original Score: A- | Jul 7, 2017

An anti-war movie at heart, but it's also flush with patriotic pride.

| Original Score: A | Jul 7, 2017

One of Australia's enduring cinematic artefacts.

| Jul 7, 2017

Admirably conveys the chaos and waste of warfare.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 7, 2017
