	Author	Review
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"A thunderingly academic hagiography where de Gaulle is depicted as the hero in every single frame (...) the result is a dead movie about a dead president."	NEG
	Fabien Lemercier Cineuropa	"The attempt by Gabriel Le Bomin to work on both historical and personal levels is not as good an idea as it initially appears (...) Lambert Wilson offers a perfectly credible version of de Gaulle"	NEU
United States	Tomris Laffly Variety	"Tedious and cliché-ridden historical drama is unworthy of its iconic subject (...) [It] feels too monotonous and self-consciously lecture-y"	NEG
Australia	Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald	"Charles de Gaulle biopic proves facts don’t always make a great story (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
