Everyone, in short, has given their all, only to skim the surface of this saga. As the credits roll, there is a sad sense that a little less could have been so much more.

A-

War Sailor offers some of the best ensemble acting seen in recent years. It’s been perfectly cast down to the smallest role.

3.5/5

Although some of its low moments can get boring, Vikene always recovers and builds up tension whenever it deviates. [Full review in Spanish]

War Sailor is the best kind of war movie: a character drama that happens amidst war, focusing most on how the characters are changed by the atrocities over the years.

Should have narrowed it's focus - what year is it now? and now? - and unfortunately the reveals are telegraphed.

Brilliantly written, directed and acted, this is a gripping, at times excruciating, film. The characters are beautifully, painfully individual, the story unexpected and painfully convincing. It takes us inside the actions of war but the unforgettable moments are the still ones in which nothing happens but meaning.
