The hilarious highlight of John Boorman's Hope and Glory (1987), nominated for five Oscars: nine-year-old Bill Rohan rejoices in the destruction of his school by an errant Luftwaffe bomb. This movie picks up the story nearly a decade later as Bill (Boorman's alter-ego) (Callum Turner) begins basic training in the early fifties, during the Korean War. Bill is joined by a trouble-making Army mate, Percy (Caleb Landry Jones). They never get near South Korea, but engage in a constant battle of wits with the Catch-22-worthy, Sergeant Major Bradley (David Thewlis). Richard E. Grant is their superior, the very infinitely put-upon, aptly-named, Major Cross.
Leave your thoughts about Queen & Country.
| Film InternationalMatthew SorrentoBoorman returns to the classical style of the movies he enjoyed at a young age, again showing his flexibility and commitment to finding a story's ideal tone. |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesDon't let the British pedigree and nostalgic trimmings fool you: this is no Masterpiece Theatre exercise but a broad, high-spirited, riotously funny service comedy, on par with M*A*S*H and Stripes. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleThe story is minimal, just a series of events in the life of a young man and his circle, but every scene is rendered with such authenticity that it’s riveting, almost like it’s a privilege to be stepping back in time. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferSweeping, witty, delightful and charming while brimming with warmth and humanism. |
| Portland OregonianJeff BakerThe 82-year-old director has a light, assured touch and wrote a script that gives his actors space to shine. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaLike "Hope and Glory," Boorman's Queen and Country finds exhilarating comedy in places usually reserved for drama, violence, loss. |
| RogerEbert.comGodfrey CheshireGiven its loose-knit narrative, the film doesn’t have anything like a conventional structure. Yet it’s steadily engrossing due to Boorman’s surpassing skills as both a storyteller and a director. |
| Paste MagazineAndy CrumpFor a movie shaped by the harsher mercies of martial pursuits, it's incredibly light and frequently hilarious. |
| Common Sense MediaSandie Angulo ChenCharming but mature post-WWII coming-of-age drama. |
| The Patriot LedgerAl AlexanderIt's solid, albeit generic, filmmaking that satisfies mostly in fits and starts. In other words, this time there's less hope and even less glory. |
