Leprechaun K @LeprechaunKing 6d Movie carries a good message about war. Pacing is bearable given the short runtime. As a product of Kubrick's early career, it doesn't display the masterfulness that makes his other classics timeless. See more Matthew J L @matthewjloller Apr 23 My first Kubrick. My impression from the bits of his films I had seen was that he was a calculated filmmaker but still cold. Sure enough that’s pretty much exactly what Paths of Glory is. Technical precision in a condemning portrayal of military incompetence. Yet still by the end of the film, hope is so lacking that one feels only despair and cold. This was the reality of WW1 and so it’s hard to fault Kubrick for such a portrayal but I also have to admit it was still cold and distant and that’s off putting to some degree.

Truly powerful with Kirk Douglas performance and cinematography. See more Jonathan K @aFIREintheattic Mar 21 A scathing indictment of war, particularly the detached and inhuman way bureaucracy operates when it is so far removed from reality. It is presented with a matter-of-fact plainness that makes it searing and off-putting to watch. That cold, direct approach is really effective. The set design is excellent, especially for the war action. There are some impressive long shots throughout the film that really showcase the craftsmanship. And the ending is really strong with a captivating climax. See more André Ferreira F @andre_f Sep 23 Fantástico, muito bem dirigido e atuado. Um dos melhores filmes de guerra que já vi. A crítica que o filme faz é excelente, englobando várias camadas através de pequenas cenas e subtramas. (avaliação: 9/10) See more Read all reviews
