The Telegraph
Allied, swathed in larger-than-life, luxurious imposture, is the real heart-racing deal. - 70
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. - 63
Slant Magazine
In the film, Robert Zemeckis brings to bear his pop-epic scope in what's otherwise a claustrophobic story. - 60
Screen Daily
A World War II romance-thriller that starts off smartly but sputters to an underwhelming finale. - 58
IndieWire
Allied can never settle on a consistent tone, bumping along from smooth spy adventure to stylized war picture to treatise on marriage, all peppered with stilted attempts at humor for an added dash of incomprehensibility. - 50
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. - 40
TheWrap
Allied is ultimately a thin love story, with creaky suspense machinery and star turns from Pitt and Cotillard that feel more like matinee idol dress-up than a meeting of the magnetic. - 40
Empire
Zemeckis’ old-school romance has its moments and Cotillard gives it her all, but it lacks the zip and chemistry to truly spark.
