Reviews

  • "Pulls no punches in its depiction of the gruesome nature of guerilla warfare and the ensuing decay of morality."
    Denis Seguin, Screen International
  • "Truly unforgettable and revelatory, L'Ennemi intime presents a rare glimpse into the realities of war in all its gory detail, tempered with a heartbreaking insight into our inescapably frail human consciousness."
    Barbara Goslawski, Boxoffice Magazine
