Anthropoid Ratings & Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Joe McGovern
Though Anthropoid lacks narrative ambition, the film justifies its reason for being thanks to a devastating final half-hour.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Anthropoid reduces a riveting and resonant piece of WW2 history to moral muddle and monotonous filmmaking. Talk about an opportunity missed.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
A lot of the time the experience of the movie is like looking at a very long wobbly rectangle, and the frequently abrupt cutting doesn't help.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
A post-script details the aftermath of the movie's action, which seems to underscore the point that war is hell. To that point, so is "Anthropoid."
New York Times
Andy Webster
It takes Sean Ellis's World War II thriller "Anthropoid" a while to build steam, but once it does, hang on.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
Enlightening but seldom riveting ...
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
This is a story of heroes, and the second half in particular shows why.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
An hour of plodding preparations does lead to guerrilla action, then to a long shootout in a church, but by then anyone watching will have realized that "Anthropoid" is the code name for a snore.
Chicago Reader
Leah Pickett
This beautifully photographed but slow-moving thriller dramatizes the events of Operation Anthropoid, the British military mission in which members of the Czech resistance were recruited to assassinate high-ranking Nazi official Reinhard Heydrich.
Austin Chronicle
Josh Kupecki
I'm sure there's a History Channel show that tells the tale better.
Washington Post
Christopher Kompanek
War movies all too often take it for granted that some causes are worth dying for. To have characters grapple with that notion, imperfectly, is nothing short of cathartic.
Arizona Republic
Randy Cordova
Handsomely produced, with a vivid period atmosphere aided by a faded color palette, which adds both an unease and a glowing sense of nostalgia to the proceedings.
Seattle Times
Soren Andersen
Filmed in sepia tones to give it period flavor, infused with a sense of unrelieved tension and paranoia, and climaxing with a furious gunbattle, "Anthropoid" is a gripping picture.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
At its best the film evokes the palpable terror of a city where uniformed thugs could arrest or kill anyone at any time with impunity.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
Dramatically, it's not much of a movie, but if you just want to know how things went down, it's certainly a more exciting prcis than Wikipedia's.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
The final showdown gets blown up and dragged out, but the slow-burning fuse of everything that comes before helps to justify the explosive release.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
It's the kind of movie where, even if you miss the ads, you can guess you'll be seeing Toby Jones.
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
Despite the film's gripping final chapter, its heroic Czechoslovakian characters are completely disconnected from the rest of the country, much like their struggle has been omitted from the cinematic legacy of the war they helped to win.
Variety
Peter Debruge
Anthropoid is a peculiarly wooden period piece, as timid characters try to muster the courage to do what is asked of them.
The Hollywood Reporter
Boyd van Hoeij
Valkyrie this is not.
