Reviews

« GLORY is a marvellous old-fashioned film, which draws softly, without sleeve effects, its very powerful strength from its linear storyline, its way of sowing on the path of its hero more and more extraordinary obstacles which reveal the compromising links of the state with the local mafia. » - Transfuge

« GLORY (is) a film full of humanity, and all the more touching as we can imagine that the political practices of an unknown country are not necessarily so far from ours. » - 20 Minutes
