Roger Ebert
Kubrick finds a way to draw all his story threads tight without compromising his harsh and unforgiving theme.

The Guardian
It is arguably the best film about the first world war, and still has a reasonable claim to being Stanley Kubrick's best film.

AllMovie
Paths of Glory is a stinging, pre-Vietnam indictment of the inflexibility of war-time decision-making.

"Paths of Glory doesn’t just depict war; it deconstructs it, laying bare the hypocrisy, the absurdity, and the inhumanity of it all."
