Press Coverage and Critical Reception for The Last Front

"Hayet-Kerknawi has cast the small roles well and the film remains involving throughout."

"It all feels a bit familiar, and matters are not helped by the fact that the actors playing Belgians and Germans are all speaking in English in an assortment of accents."

"A no-nonsense fictitious war film based on history."

"While it lacks broader context and thematic texture, this character-driven war drama resonates with genuine emotion."

"The Last Front depicts the horrifying slaughter of innocent civilians with frank realism and a poetic contrast to their gentle, bucolic lives. Iain Glen, a venerated actor brimming with screen gravitas, elevates the script with gripping body language."

"This is not a shades-of-grey kind of movie. Nor is it one where the characters have more than two dimensions or the hint of a personal life beyond their immediate plot function."

"A sturdy, engrossing drama conveyed in a somewhat retro mode."

"It is investing just enough, yet also undone by some choices in the back half."

"A fine drama that shines a spotlight on a part of Europe that really hasn't been covered very much in war movies."

"The Last Front does grab you but it isn't subtle by any means… But it's done with such conviction and passion, you won't mind."

"WWI thriller The Last Front is a respectable, overambitious effort that features two strong lead performances."

"Mesmerizing, suspenseful and thrilling, but somewhat heavy-handed and clunky."
