	Author	Review
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"World War ZZZZZ. (...) dreary spy thriller (...) absence of chemistry between leads Cotillard and Brad Pitt"	NEG
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"What a handsome empty shell of a movie 'Allied' is. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	Oliver Lyttelton The Playlist	"It’s an engaging film in many respects, but one that exemplifies a lot of the problems that have trailed Zemeckis across his career."	NEU
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"A breathlessly old-fashioned romantic espionage thriller. (...) it’s been made with a so-old-it’s-new classicism that is executed with enough flair to lure audiences in. (...) tense and absorbing"	POS
United States	Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly	"There’s something decidedly old-fashioned about (...) Allied. And that ends up being a good thing. (...) It’s not trying to be flashy or arty, it just wants to get the job done. And it does that and a little more."	POS
United States	Robert Abele The Wrap	"Pitt seems wholly miscast, and Cotillard turns in an awkwardly pitched performance (...) 'Allied' is ultimately a thin love story, with creaky suspense machinery."	NEG
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"A World War II romance-thriller that starts off smartly but sputters to an underwhelming finale."	NEU
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"It’s not so much a work of art as a triumph of craft, and therefore a reminder of the deep pleasures of old-fashioned technique and long experience."	POS
United Kingdom	Tom Huddleston Time Out	"'Allied' attempts to balance joy with heartbreak, and never fully manages either. But fans of old-school entertainment are unlikely to leave disappointed. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	NEU
United States	Bilge Ebiri Village Voice	"'Allied' doesn’t deliver any particularly shocking twists or turns; the real surprise here is how much a well-told, well-acted tale can still resonate."	POS
