Allied Reviews
Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard bring elegant performances to an intelligent and stylish picture, which gradually reveals a profound emotional resonance under its outward restraint.
| Original Score: 4/4 | Apr 5, 2022
Allied shows Zemeckis hasn't lost his sense of humour. He may, however, have lost his groove.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 3, 2022
Like an average cover version of a classic song, Zemeckis drama makes all the right noises for a 40s war-time thriller, but it doesnt have any of the heart
| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 18, 2022
This is far from brilliant - though it is extremely watchable.

An elegant and understated movie for adults, one that's as unfussy as it is engaging.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 17, 2021
A romance picture with very little steam, a war picture with only one impressive set piece, and a spy picture with a double-cross so bland that all the players look and feel like they are going through the motions strictly for a paycheck.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 8, 2021
Anchoring all this beauty are strong performances from Pitt and Cotillard.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 3, 2021
Am I reacting to the picture presented in front of me, or reacting to the picture that isn't? Maybe it's a little bit of both.

When the accusation towards Marianne drops, you've already fallen in love with this couple. Consequently, you immediately get invested in the conflict.[Full review in Spanish]

I liked this movie.

This was just like a throwback and it was fun.

Solid, intriguing, beautifully realized and perfectly acted.

As bland as it can be, it doesn't drag, and even when coasting on autopilot, Cotillard and Pitt have enough star power to make it all work, at least on a functional level.
| Mar 30, 2020
The wardrobe is as elegant and refined as to be expected from a period drama of this standard. If only the story hadn't been as [plodding], the characters so undefined, and the script so anachronistic.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 27, 2020
Has a cluster of subversive elements begging to be teased under the surface of a superficial love story.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 3, 2019
Pitt and Cotillard have a gentle and compelling onscreen chemistry and together sell the love and the intrigue - perfect for rainy day romantics.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 7, 2019
The director maintains the balance of melodrama and suspense, with some predictability but remembering the Hitchcock script games. [Full Review in Spanish]

The rare case where a lesser, more workmanlike director might have executed a better film.
| Original Score: 2.25/5 | Jul 17, 2019
Weak and limp as a romantic thriller, problematic as a husband/wife narrative and wholly negligible as a Nazi-era spy piece, Allied wants so badly to capture older audiences, it puts its final credits in easy-to-read, oversized print.
| Original Score: D | Jun 25, 2019
The tone doesn't quite work and it is definitely boring in spots but good chemistry and a pretty good story make it a decent watch.
| Original Score: C | Apr 2, 2019
