Tim Grierson Los Angeles Times In his latest, Minervini brings viewers into the thick of the Civil War, only to find the same dazed souls and gnawing uncertainties that have always been his focus. It’s a war film with very little combat, but it’s about a war that still rages today. Jun 23, 2025 Full Review Peter Sobczynski RogerEbert.com Miniervi’s near-total eschewing of conventional dramatic or character development may leave others feeling as isolated and cold as the soldiers on the screen. Rated: 2.5/4 May 16, 2025 Full Review Kyle Smith Wall Street Journal At a brisk run time of just under 90 minutes, “The Damned” makes at least a darned strong impression. May 15, 2025 Full Review Philipp Engel Cinemanía (Spain) A magnificent minimalist film. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 May 30, 2025 Full Review Michael Atkinson LA Weekly/Village Voice Minervini’s lovely, pensive odyssey has some fascinating moments... But with all the downtime, the film ends up feeling a little empty, and again, that attentional void encourages stray thinking. May 19, 2025 Full Review Jared Mobarak Hey, Have You Seen ...? Documentarian Roberto Minervini steps into the fictional narrative sector with Civil War drama The Damned by pretty much setting up an historical reenactment and shooting it like a documentary. Rated: 6/10 May 16, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
