Overlord feels like a small but vivid tragedy inside an epic container. Full Review

Rating: A- -- Though not as aggressive as the freeform artistry of '70s contemporaries like Nicolas Roeg or Richard Lester, Cooper's film spins a hypnotic tone from flash-forwards, fantasy sequences, and dreamlike premonitions. Full Review

An interesting failure, this rarely seen 1975 English feature about World War II combines documentary and fictional elements, though they tend to undermine each other. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- A glimpse of both the inner life of the soldier waiting for combat, and the literal reality of the most devastating war the world has ever seen. Full Review

4 stars out of 5 -- [An] understated account of one young soldier's preparation for D-Day. The results are powerful, utterly authentic and deeply moving.

Rating: 5/5 -- Overlord, a prize-winning entry in the 1975 Berlin Film Festival, deserves to join the pantheon of essential World War II combat movies.
