Critics Consensus

Allied has its moments, but doesn't quite achieve epic wartime romance status -- a disappointment made more profound by the dazzling talent assembled on either side of the camera.

Phew! They don't make them like this any more. Come to think of it, they never have made them quite like this. A most unfamiliar return to the familiar.

3.5/5

For all the effort poured into period recreation, the world of the film remains abstract, bordering on fantasy.

4/4

Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard bring elegant performances to an intelligent and stylish picture, which gradually reveals a profound emotional resonance under its outward restraint.

Allied shows Zemeckis hasn't lost his sense of humour. He may, however, have lost his groove.

Like an average cover version of a classic song, Zemeckis drama makes all the right noises for a 40s war-time thriller, but it doesnt have any of the heart

It's not that I didn't like it, but I definitely won't watch it a second time.

boringly predictable, and not very clever. and the basic plot is bad OPSEC that makes this excruciating in the third act. This is no Le Carre. Pitt and Cotillard ofc are fine and glamorous, but I expected more from this and didn't get it. Maybe that's the final twist.

Definitely worth the watch. Brad Pitt was very good as usual. I liked the story and I'm all in on anything WWII related. Makes you wonder how much stuff like this was really going on at the time. Good film, not great.

this movie was awesome. makes me wonder who my grand parents on my father´s side were. I know very little of them, since he grew up with his grand parents in rural denmark... born in 45, son to a german oberst, and danish mother who both fled to germany after the war interesting to see a movie with Pitt, without any of his boyish charm. stoic, concerned this was definitely worth the two hours spent

I am always a big fan of historical ficiton so I was really excited to give this movie a watch. It was pretty good, but it felt like there was something missing. It just kind of fell a bit flat for me. I really wanted to enjoy it, but I just didn't end up liking it as much as I would have hoped.
