Reaction: We have not made many films in the romance genre, but the numbers on this one certainly won't discourage future projects. It also continues Jake Gyllenhaal's box office success for the studio.
"Jake Gyllenhaal and Carey Mulligan show off great chemistry in the lead roles, while Gyllenhaal especially gets to show off his masculine charm - something not often seen in these romantic films." - Stephen Ridley, Boston Globe
"Much more faithful than previous adaptations, Joe Wright's A Farewell to Arms is a much more grisly and tragic affair, as it should be." - Richard Park, Globe and Mail
"The territory is well-worn, and ultimately, despite the best efforts of Joe Wright and his cast, the film fails to bring anything new to the war romance genre." - Charles Yost, Oregonian
