Peter Debruge

Dec 6, 2024

Impressive in both its subject and suggested scope, Perry’s sweeping film reflects how the achievement of these women directly impacted the troops’ morale, despite the adversity they faced from skeptical superior officers. Read full review

The Six Triple Eight relates a little-known story that fairly demanded to be told, and does it full justice. Read full review

Grading on the Tyler Perry curve, though, “The Six Triple Eight” respects its noteworthy topic — and its audience — as much as it possibly could. Read full review

IndieWire Vikram Murthi

Dec 6, 2024

From beginning to end, The Six Triple Eight never trusts its audience to actually engage with the material beyond its inspiring surface, evidenced by a lengthy coda featuring title cards that literally restate the film’s plot over archival footage of the 6888th Battalion. Unsung heroes deserve better. Read full review

The Observer (UK) Wendy Ide

Dec 22, 2024

Unfortunately, Perry drenches the tale with his trademark syrupy ineptitude, creating a gloopy, turgid plodder. Read full review

The Telegraph Tim Robey

The film is torn between the conflicting instincts of sassy playing to the gallery and sanctified mush. Read full review

The Six Triple Eight is about people who received no public recognition for their achievements at the time, but in trying to give them their belated due onscreen, this clunky excuse for a war movie ends up being more about what they endured than about what they accomplished. Read full review
