Leave your thoughts about Went the Day Well?.
| GuardianPeter BradshawA wartime conspiracy thriller, a black-comic nightmare and a surrealist masterpiece in which stoutly English-seeming army types reveal themselves to be Nazis, like the reflected figures turning their backs on us in Renà (C) Magritte's mirror. |
| Time OutDavid FearHome-front propaganda has rarely seemed so cutthroat or so cunning; for Americans, the chance to see this rarity is an opportunity to indulge in the sort of cinematic ecstasy that makes us obsessed with movies in the first place. |
| Time OutTom HuddlestonStill truly unnerving, one can only imagine how terrifying it must have been for audiences facing the very real threat of Nazi enslavement. |
| Monthly Film BulletinMFB CriticsGraham Greene has written a good story but the scripting is indifferent, banal at times, and the direction lacks cohesion. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyAs an effective work of surreptitious World War II propaganda, "Went the Day Well" is instructive on many levels. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranOne of the most subversive films to come out of World War II, a British drama that was unsettling in its day and is even more so now. |
| Film-Forward.comKent TurnerThe summer's first all-around audience-pleaser arrives this week after 70 years in hibernation. |
| Not Coming to a Theater Near YouMichael NordineTo look down on the blatant propagandizing of Went the Day Well? is pointless insofar as it disallows the possibility of learning from it, but it's nevertheless difficult to not take certain elements of the film with a grain of salt. |
| Slant MagazineJaime N. ChristleyA sickeningly giddy action thriller that looks forward to Straw Dogs, Inglorious Basterds, and Red Dawn. |
| Nate Hood ReviewsNathanael HoodIts jingoistic nastiness and nationalist aggrandizement makes this film exactly the kind of nonsense Powell & Pressburger's The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp was made in response to. |
