Gallipoli

CriticsCritics: 78
AudienceAudience: 7.5

Two young Australian sprinters become friends and enlist during World War I, leaving home for training before being sent to fight in the Gallipoli campaign. As their hopes and camaraderie meet the realities of war, their journey becomes a personal story of friendship, youthful idealism, and the human cost of conflict.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like character-focused war dramas about friendship, youthful idealism, and the human cost of conflict; Not for you if you want relentless battlefield action or a fast-paced story.
