Movie Reviews

Variety - 10/10 by Variety StaffFor Gary Cooper the role is made to order.
Goatdog's Movies - 8/10 by Michael W. Phillips, Jr.The breathless pace, the good script, and the mostly fine performances made me more forgiving of the dated aspects of this film. Overall, though, it's Gary Cooper's film.
New York Times - 8/10 by Bosley CrowtherThe performance of Gary Cooper in the title role holds the picture together magnificently, and even the most unfavorable touches are made palatable because of him.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 8/10 by Ken HankeFirst-class Hawks biopic on the WWI hero.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 8/10 by Emanuel LevySetting a precedent by preseting the saga of a celeb sill alive, the Hawks biopic is a tale of transformation of an obscure Tennessee hillbilly into a national hero, thus showing the validity of the democratic credo that heroes are not born but made.
Video-Reviewmaster.com - 7/10 by Steve CrumMoving, memorable, great Warner Bros. biography of WWI hero York, with fine Cooper performance--an Oscar winner.
Combustible Celluloid - 7/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonSergeant York brought him Hawks one and only Oscar nomination for Best Director, and it's arguably his least interesting film.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Dennis SchwartzNothing to get upset about, but also not much to get excited about.
Antagony & Ecstasy - 7/10 by Tim BraytonEven given a nest of flaws, the basic arc works beautifully: Cooper's abashed, aw-shucks demeanor is a perfect fit for the part.
User Review - 10/10 by Sheri LOne of the best of all times. Sgt York was a real true hero, the movie almost did not get made because of his self deprecating nature. My grandpa's favorite movie.
