It is stunning to see critics in these reviews. This film is an epic! Do NOT let the nabobs of cultural negativism fool you. Like all war film this one has plenty of action and a love story. But unlike others, ESPECIALLY the American variety (Band of Brothers and Private Ryan among the worst) Passchendaele tells a real-life Canadian heroic, and tragic, story that we ALL need to remember. Don't be fooled by the Canadian self-loathers. Go see this film for what it is: A Canadian masterpiece.

Although it is a great story, i dont believe this movie to be quite the tribute to the soldiers as it was revved up to be. Despite this fact, it displayed quite an accurate portrayal of what life was like back on the home front; the racism shown throughout Canada and the pressure tactics used to 'encourage' people to join the military were accurate and true. If your looking for a love story, great movie, if your looking for a historic show about what happened at home of the war, good movie, if your looking for an action film; i really wouldnt bother, though the 15 minutes of action were great, but not worth it

How do we know what went on in this battle unless we are given movies such as this? People should be proud of Paul Gross for wanting to make this movie as a tribute to his Grandfather and the many soldiers that fought by his side. Yes, there is a love story intertwined throughout, which makes it a more appealing movie for women to go and see.The night my friend, her son and I were there, no one left their seats until the credits were done. To me that shows how interested they were in this local film.I couldn't stop crying and thought of the stories of my grandfather fighting in WW1 and the effects I was told it had on him. I also read his book in two days prior to going to the movie(I couldn

Not a good account of what happened, great story of course and not enough filming of the environment that was suffered.

Did not capture the real history of Passchendaele in the way Band of Brothers director SS may have done.

For such a significant moment in Canadian history I thought this film fell short on reflecting fully

Canadians should be very proud of what the troops did for the world in this battle, but it does not make this a good film
