Critic Reviews of "Private Peaceful"
Los Angeles TimesOctober 31, 2014Melancholy runs deep in "Private Peaceful," a richly appointed British period piece about fraternal loyalty adapted from the book of the same name by "War Horse" author Michael Morpurgo.
New York TimesOctober 30, 2014A World War I fable that's as stiff as an Eton collar and as plodding as a draft horse.
New York Daily NewsOctober 30, 2014A long, long, trail a-winding, to be sure. But fans of PBS, history and a certain kind of old-fashioned moviemaking may fall in.
Village VoiceOctober 28, 2014O'Connor captures all the beauty of these rural childhoods without skimping on the harsh realities of 20th-century feudalism.
Time OutOctober 11, 2012O'Connor shows his old-school expertise in the charming country childhood sequences, where the film feels most individual and alive.
Slant MagazineOctober 29, 2014By modestly embracing its inherent minimalism and finding the emotions underlying even the most schematic of scenarios, the film taps into something unmistakably human.
Baret NewsOctober 27, 2014Trench warfare as the backdrop for a tawdry love triangle about as incestuous as it gets.
Flicks.co.nzJuly 18, 2013A cliché-ridden, thoroughly forgettable, at times just plain dull affair, with broad characterisations and musty plot turns that would seem embarrassing even on TV - where it ideally belongs.
Birmingham PostOctober 31, 2012The ending is dynamite and will shock children just as much as The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.
Observer (UK)October 13, 2012It's perhaps more TV than cinema, but O'Connor directs with a firm hand, and children will learn valuable lessons from it.
Contactmusic.comOctober 12, 2012The filmmakers tell this World War I story beautifully, but they never quite bring it to life as a proper movie. By taking a gently simplistic approach, it never feels like anything new as it deals with the usual topics of battlefield camaraderie.
