	Author	Review
United States	Stephen Farber The Hollywood Reporter	"A powerful WWII drama (...) Considering that the contours of the story are fairly predictable, it’s surprising how much suspense and pathos Zandvliet builds."	POS
United States	Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"[It] is a classic (...) World War II epic but with a number of unsettling twists."	POS
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"[A] potent and accomplished feature (...) [It] should heighten its writer-director’s stature"	POS
United States	Anthony Lane The New Yorker	"The bad news about 'Land of Mine' is that it’s all about land mines."	NEG
United Kingdom	David D'Arcy Screendaily	"'Land Of Mine' achieves moments of chilling suspense in scenes of untrained soldiers defusing mines by hand and in the bloody bodies that leap into the air when the boys fail."	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"A tight and suspenseful film (...) [Zandvliet] tackles these themes in a way that is both effective and conventional."	POS
United States	Claudia Puig The Wrap	"Zandvliet's bleak compositions are particularly striking."	POS
