CRITICS OF "Gallipoli"

Mediasharx

One of the best war films ever made....a triumph for the AFI

March 03, 2006

Time Out

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

Matt's Movie Reviews

Gallipoli is Australia's quintessential war movie that works as a stirring tribute to the ANZAC's and a condemnation of the travesty which is war.

Turner Classic Movies Online

... deflated the romantic notions of glory under fire to show the reality of Gallipoli and mourn the men who gave up their lives for a war they had no stake in.

The friendship between town and country boys Lee and Gibson is real and personal, and the final shot transcends cliche.

TV Guide

Both a fitting testimony to the courage of the thousands of Australians and New Zealanders who died fighting for their country and one of the most powerful cinematic examinations of the futility and tragic cost of war.

Weir goes so far in humanizing Archy and Frank before they head off to the dehumanizing crucible of combat that he commits the greatest sin of all... he's boring

October 11, 2005

EmanuelLevy.Com

Set in 1915, Weir's excellent anti-war film centers on the disastrous battle of Gallipoli, featuring an excellent performance by Mel Gibson as a young fleet-footed soldier

TIME Magazine

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

January 18, 2010

Resource

New York Times

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.

El Mundo (Spain)

Is not just a war film, it aims to be much more than a personal self-improvement story. [Full review in Spanish]
