Leave your thoughts about Beneath Hill 60.
| The VineDarryn KingHas every chance of joining the ranks of Gallipoli and Breaker Morant. It may even contribute to future generations' understanding of the Australian experience in the Great War. |
| sbs.com.auDon GrovesA superbly crafted, tension-filled drama based on a little-known episode of the First World War. |
| Sydney Morning HeraldPaul ByrnesThis is our first really good movie about the Western Front. It's not faultless, but it does what it does very well. |
| At the Movies (Australia)David StrattonYou've got to give full marks for the look of the film. It looks absolutely great. |
| Cinema AutopsyThomas CaldwellBeneath Hill 60 is a strong film telling an important story and while it won't have the same impact as Gallipoli, it is still a film of significance. |
| Sydney Morning HeraldGiles HardieBeneath Hill 60 for a while feels almost embarrassed to be a big war flick, but once it finds its nerve, it genuinely excels. |
| MovieTime, ABC Radio NationalJulie RiggHow they did it, and what it cost is the real story. I'm glad it's told as well as it is. |
| At the Movies (Australia)Margaret PomeranzPerhaps the tension of the situation is not exploited quite as much as one would hope but this is an ambitious project that will resonate. |
| VarietyRussell EdwardsA well-groomed Australian low-budgeter undermined by dull pacing and cliched characterizations. |
| User ReviewPeter HSuperb casting, acting, writing and directing have come together to create one of the best war/wartime drama films I have ever seen. |
