Eleven

Terrible acting even for a low budget film not worth watching and a disgrace to real events of WW1. Wasted my money.

Poor acting, over dramatized, crappy movie scene sets. Rifles sound like a child's cap gun from 1957. No storyline really. Generals depicted as crazed disturbed puppet masters. About as u realistic acting to the situation as possible. Poor taste in music...mismatched. a nurse breaks out in song and has a modern tone and vibrato, totally inappropriate to the time. Movie ends with a modern sappy song. Gives zero justice to the men and women that laid their lives on the line during g WWI.

Eleven is a very moving film, showing the last few hours of World War 1. The fear felt by soldiers was well captured, as was the sense of comradeship. It was great to see such attention to historical and period detail in the sets and uniforms and the camera work was superb.

All the actors were excellent, with standout performances by Sean Cronin as Friedrich Muller and Jo Stone-Fewings as Captain Mullen. A special mention must also be made of the wounded French soldier, Jerome Bernard, played by the very talented Guillaume Rivaud, who so beautifully captured the look of thoughtful sorrow and acted with great compassion and feeling.

It was fitting to include the powerful 'soldier's prayer' at the beginning and one can easily imagine that many prayed such a prayer on the battlefields. It was a great shame therefore that the name of Jesus was taken in vain several times during the film.

All in all, this film was a well-made reminder of the horrors of World War 1 and the friendships that must have been made during that time.

Hugely ambitious, modestly budgeted UK indie drama based on the final hours of World War I. The film has real heart and feels authentic as to the people stuck in the trenches, as well as those back home. A meditation on the senseless waste of life, and a moving tribute to those who fought, and those that fell during that horrible conflict.

This low budget film depicts the closings hours from midnight to 11am on last of WW1. It captures sin small scale view the lives lost to combat action along the front line. Don't expect high budget effects this film focuses the impact of company to small group of soldiers.
