Leave your thoughts about '71.
| Digital SpyBen Rawson-JonesIt's an extraordinary cinematic debut for director Yann Demange, whose unflinching lens quickly establishes an environment that seethes with danger and menace... |
| Film Freak CentralWalter ChawA formidable debut for TV/commercial director Demange |
| The Young FolksAllyson JohnsonWhile the film benefits greatly from having such a reliable performer, it doesn't live and breathe by his performance, which only speaks to the intensity of the filmmaking. |
| WORLD Megan BashamThe film touches on the politics that inform the action but not enough to provide much context. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsSwift and exciting, with no taste for the usual war movie heroics, first-time feature film director Yann Demange's film belongs on a short list of immersive, rattling, authentic fictions right next door to the fact of survival inside a war zone. |
| VarietyGuy LodgeA vivid, shivery survival thriller that turns the red-brick residential streets of Belfast into a war zone of unconscionable peril. |
| The PlaylistJessica Kiang‘71 is more than just a performance showcase, delivering a gripping, at times almost unbearably tense, incredibly involving anti-war statement, made the stronger for being set against the less cinematically familiar backdrop of Belfast in the year 1971. |
| IndieWireEric Kohn'71 constantly thrills without sensationalizing its surprises. The war-is-hell ethos drives it forward, so that the movie retains its suspense in conjunction with its dour outlook. |
| The New York TimesManohla DargisMr. Demange makes his feature directing debut with ’71, but he already knows how to move bodies through space and the complex choreography that he’s worked out in this movie is a thing of joy. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperFrame by frame, ’71 is one of those intense war thrillers where you know it’s fiction, you know it’s not a documentary, and yet every performance and every conflict feels true to the history and the events of the time. |
