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

Gallipoli was, and is, a triumph.

| 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

Against a backdrop broader than his previous outings, Weir has fashioned what is virtually an intimate epic.

| Jul 7, 2010

Well acted and, within its limited terms, well made, Gallipoli represents a failure of nerve as well as design.

| Jan 18, 2010

The central section devoted to training in Egypt sags badly through its crass buddy antics and its crude caricatures of wogs and pommies.

Weir's work has a delicacy, gentleness, even wispiness that would seem not well suited to the subject. And yet his film has an uncommon beauty, warmth, and immediacy, and a touch of the mysterious, too.
