Dennis Harvey Variety It's insufficiently moving as character-driven piece, but also lacks the urgency and suspense needed to make larger events vivid. Sep 6, 2019 Full Review Jonathan Holland Hollywood Reporter While War's dutiful sense of responsibility to its source material is laudable, it feels limiting. Sep 6, 2019 Full Review Fionnuala Halligan Screen International While At War is a complex, steady, deeply intelligent film with a chilling resonance today, and a significant departure in tone from Amenabar's prior work. Sep 5, 2019 Full Review Filipe Freitas Always Good Movies ... clarity in the exposition of a looming, dangerous dictatorship in the guise of patriotism. Rated: 3/5 Mar 15, 2021 Full Review Yasser Medina Cinefilia The narrative, despite having a moment that captivates me, lacks verve, dramatic quota, approaching the figure of the philosopher with a certain condescension. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 6/10 Jul 31, 2020 Full Review Lisa Nesselson France24 The period feels authentic and the stakes couldn't be higher...fascism is as scary now as it was in the 1930s...
