	Author	Review
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"Although well made and acted, the real question (...) is what relevance it may have for a modern audience. The answer is, probably not much."	NEU
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"'Journey’s End' never feels over-talkative, dull or even particularly claustrophobic. Much of the credit goes to the astute writing and punchy yet understated staging."	POS
United Kingdom	Allan Hunter Screendaily	"There isn’t a weak link in a pitch perfect ensemble cast (...) Dibb’s smartest moves are to trust the material and strive to render it in as cinematic a way as possible."	POS
United Kingdom	Charles Bramesco The Guardian	"'Journey’s End' winds up a restless film, searching for a way out of what should be its destination (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Tim Robey Telegraph	"Wonderfully acted (...) You’re expecting it to cross the barrier from solid to gut-wrenching, and that never quite happens (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Andrew Lowry Empire	"Fittingly bracing and angry (and superbly acted) (...) Sam Claflin has never been better (...) (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
