At War

Critics Consensus

At War doesn't have the answers to the struggles it highlights, but proves no less compelling in the raw urgency with which it depicts the modern worker's plight.

Critic Reviews for At War (En guerre)

All Critics (33) | Top Critics (14) | Fresh (23) | Rotten (10)

  • [Has] shades of Norma Rae and the Dardenne brothers' Two Days, One Night, except this is an even more piercing film. This film is angry.

    October 2, 2019 | Full Review…

    Tim Cogshell

    FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

  • The performances and camerawork are natural and unrehearsed, to the point where one wishes this had something more to show for itself than expert mimicry and an inharmonious act of violence to send audiences packing.

    August 10, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

    Scott Marks

    San Diego Reader

  • Brizé's bid for political urgency may not be as complete a work in terms of character richness and scope, but it's a worthy companion piece in the effort to make films in a turbulent time that speak the truth about the plagued dignity of everyday people.

    Robert Abele

    Los Angeles Times

  • An exhausting film to watch in the best sense, venting our anger at the dehumanizing forces in society until we are left drained, contemplating our impending challenges with newfound clarity.

    July 19, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

    Matt Fagerholm

    RogerEbert.com

  • Ultimately, At War isn't able to offer much more than gradual escalation of intensity. Even before the war is over, it's hard not to withdraw.

    July 17, 2019 | Rating: B- | Full Review…

    Lawrence Garcia

    AV Club

  • The film is content to bluntly affirm that corporate attempts at compassion are always secondary to providing profit to shareholders.
