Critics Consensus

Allied has its moments, but doesn't quite achieve epic wartime romance status -- a disappointment made more profound by the dazzling talent assembled on either side of the camera.

Phew! They don't make them like this any more. Come to think of it, they never have made them quite like this. A most unfamiliar return to the familiar.

Jake Wilson

The Age (Australia)

For all the effort poured into period recreation, the world of the film remains abstract, bordering on fantasy.

Rated: 3.5/5

Deep Focus Review

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.

Rated: 4/4

Allied shows Zemeckis hasn't lost his sense of humour. He may, however, have lost his groove.

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

Allied is good enough, but you can feel it wants to be more, but can't. The characters are a little bit more than generic. Both leads have certain traits that differentiate them from the stereotypes. I was confused after the first act, because I realised I didn't know what this movie's about. And I remained confused for 10 minutes, until (around) the middle point. Overall, I liked the story, but the dialogues were sometimes out of place. In the end this movie made me feel something, because it was able to connect me to the characters and I love that. I also loved the cinematography. The lighting was good and the spinning cameras are one of Robert Zemeckis' reoccurring traits I love. The production design is good, but much of it felt CG. Speaking of visual effects, I was expecting more from a 2016 movie, from that aspect the movie disappointed me. On the other hand the score is incredibly subtle and actually there's not much music and that was a great decision to build more tension. The acting performances are good enough and the main reason I watched this is Brad Pitt's movie star energy, which I felt fulfilled with. Allied isn't exceptional, but it does enough to be more than generic.

Recommended by the dawg Shane Gillis. Very good writing, acting. Enjoyed the cast. Some sneaky good roles carved in there by people I recognize.

Love the chemistry between Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard, they just look great together. The movie gives off the Parisian old money aesthetic - very elegant and I am really into it.

You know a movie is amazing when it pulls at your heart stings and has you balling your eyes out in the end.
