    Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman

    An epic aestheticization of World War II, a movie at once bold and baffling, immediate and abstract.

    The New York Times Elvis Mitchell

    One more film that could have been helped by excising repetition and focusing performances, but it wanders almost randomly instead. The heart-piercing moments that punctuate its rambling are glimpses of what a tighter film might have been.

    Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

    The movie's schizophrenia keeps it from greatness (this film has no firm idea of what it is about), but doesn't make it bad. It is, in fact, sort of fascinating: a film in the act of becoming, a field trial, an experiment in which a dreamy poet meditates on stark reality.

    Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan

    An art film to the core. If it's an epic, it's an intimate, dream-time epic, an elliptical, episodic film, dependent on images and reveries, that treats war as the ultimate nightmare, the one you just cannot awaken from no matter how hard you try.

    Variety Todd McCarthy

    Like a Rousseau painting splattered with carnage of warfare.
