More whimsical than gloomy, for all the horrors it alludes to or depicts.

Miami Herald by Rene Rodriguez

Often grim, but never nihilistic: Even at its darkest, Dizdar gives the movie an optimistic bounce. The movie is often shockingly funny, too.

Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert

It is fairly lighthearted, under the circumstances; like "Catch-22," it enjoys the paradoxes that occur when you try to apply logic to war.
