It's soft, sort of spongy and so bland that you may well remember the scenery better than anything that happens in front of it. Go to Full Review
Gary Arnold Washington Post Apr 17, 2020
Yanks remains an unusually appealing and ingratiating movie. Go to Full Review
Variety Staff Variety Apr 17, 2020
Director John Schlesinger has done a beautiful job with both cast and craft in Yanks, a multiple love story set in England in World War II. Yet little that's exciting ever happens in the picture. Go to Full Review
Rick Chatenever Santa Cruz Sentinel Apr 17, 2020
Yanks has a richness to it in both its technical and its human elements. Many of the episodes shine with emotional clarity and understanding, and they all reflect the sheen of Schlesinger's craft. Go to Full Review
Rex Reed Vogue Apr 17, 2020
In every decade, a truly memorable motion picture comes along that, sometimes, if we're lucky, can enrich our lives. Yanks will be the one from the 1970s that future audiences and historians will remember, and cherish. Go to Full Review
