It is one of the most emotionally shattering films ever made.
Read - 10 The GuardianPeter Bradshaw
Cimino's masterpiece of cruelty and horror (...) Bold and brilliant.
Read - 9.0 El PaísCarlos Boyero
It is not a film about war, but about friendship. On how life can fuck the most beautiful things we've had, the impossibility of regaining splendor in the grass. It is also a song of survival. It keeps making me cry.
- 6.0 New York TimesVincent Canby
Its view is limited and its narrative at times sketchy (...) Is both deeply troubling and troublesome.
