      Glenn Kenny New York Times This is a staggeringly engrossing and effective movie, its settings both beautiful and oppressive, its incidents tense and eye-opening. Aug 9, 2018 Full Review Alan Scherstuhl Village Voice Surveying the doomed 1954 retreat of French and Laotian soldiers, Schoendoerffer exposes, with a reporter's eye, the horrors that were and the horrors to come. Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Clayton Dillard Slant Magazine The cumulative effect of Pierre Schoendoerffer's realist approach reinforces the unsparing nature of international conflict. Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 6, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
