Documentary Presents Never-Before-Seen Footage of the Grisly End of World War II.
Leave your thoughts about Apocalypse '45.
| VarietyOwen GleibermanThe hell we see here isn’t heightened; it’s graphic and terrifying. Yet the greatest terror may be that it was necessary. Apocalypse ’45 is a haunting document of men who fought their way through hell to save all of us. |
| TheWrapSteve PondIt’s hard to say that any WWII film can feel fresh after decades of documentation, but Apocalypse ’45 finds a way to trade in the typical war-doc toolkit for something more personal and more striking. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreApocalypse ’45 is a cut above the boilerplate docs whipped up for the various “World War II” channels on TV. |
| Wall Street JournalJohn AndersonThe material is often intimate, often heartbreaking. |
| San Francisco ChronicleG. Allen JohnsonAlthough much of the footage is unseen, perhaps the freshest part of Apocalypse ’45 is hearing the veterans debate whether the U.S. should have dropped the atomic bombs, and how America has progressed in the decades since. |
| The New York TimesNatalia WinkelmanApocalypse ’45 knows that war is hell for everyone. But it’s difficult to escape the sense that, in this film’s view of history, America is top of mind. |
