ReceptionEdit
Abus de Cine noted in-depth films covering World War I from a French viewpoint were rare, and noted La Peur as ambitious. While the reviewer felt the film was uneven in its interpretation, he felt it was worth watching.[6]
While also noting an unevenness in interpretation, La Croix praised the director for immersing the viewer into the war from a uniquely French perspective, and the work of actor Nino Rocher in the lead role.[7]
Libération noted director Damien Odoul's success in capturing the horrors of trench warfare through his graphic film adaptation of the memoirs of a survivor of "The Great War".[8]
Le Figaro wrote that the film was remarkable in its retelling of the fears and horrors suffered by French soldiers during World War I.[9]
France 24 praised director Damien Odoul for his unfettered depictions of the true horrors seen and suffered by French soldiers from 1914 through 1918 in the trenches of World War I. While it was felt the director took liberties in his adaptation of the Gabriel Chevallier novel, the changes were as the filmmaker intended in order to contemporize the history being told.[10]
