What the Critics say | ||
Cape Argus / The Star Diane de Beer War story fails to fully blossom. | 5 | |
Die Burger Francois Bloemhof Oorlogsdrama visueel en dramaties sterk. | 10 | |
Cape Times Todd McCarthy A contrived and unpersuasive look at an oft-dramatised historical moment. | 5 | |
Box Office Pete Hammond The Flowers of War is ultimately an inspiring, stirring and unforgettable human drama in the face of a horrifying war. It is highly recommended. | 15 | |
Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert The Flowers of War is in many ways a good film, as we expect from Zhang Yimou. | 10 | |
