Zach Lewis Slant Magazine Recalling Roberto Minervini’s past docufiction work, the film is a show of impressionistic portraiture. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 7, 2024 Full Review David Ehrlich indieWire While Minervini’s grip on the film’s concept never falters, the depths that he’s able to plumb with it never deepen. Rated: C+ May 16, 2024 Full Review Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter If it were possible to send a camera crew back into the past to capture such an event, the result would be something close to what Minervini delivers in this quietly intoxicating and existentially real war movie. May 16, 2024 Full Review Filipe Freitas Always Good Movies The most striking thing about The Damned is how ordinary it is, feeling like a moody vignette rather than a fully realized story. Rated: 2/5 Nov 24, 2024 Full Review Hector A. Gonzalez InSession Film Minervini does not want to dwell in the physical elements of war but more so on the mental side, seen through the eyes of those on the frontlines as they bask in the weather before the air smells of asphalt and gunpowder. Rated: B- Oct 31, 2024 Full Review Hayley Croke Loud and Clear Reviews The story is genre-bending in its approach and cathartic in its exploration of self-actualization. After leaving the film, you too may feel that part of you will stay on the Western frontier with the soldiers you have just spent time with. Rated: 4.5/5 Oct 25, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
