Rating: 2.5/4 -- What's memorable about the film is the high degree of accuracy. There are a number of gaffes, due primarily to filmmaking compromises. Full Review

Sensitive, gripping, oddly old-fashioned cinema. Full Review

Monte Merrick's script is an unspectacular, cliche-riddled voyage from start to finish, with everyone lugging their own tote-bags of facile character idiosyncrasies. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- This human element in the experience of the Memphis Belle crew somehow compensates for a lack of human dimension in the characters. We can't really tell the crew members apart, and don't much care to, but we can identify with them. Full Review
