"Clement Cogitore's striking debut puts an inventive fresh, uncanny spin on the War in Afghanistan soldier study." VARIETY
"You’ve never seen a war film quite like The Wakhan Front... functions as a gripping, subtly eerie drama which keeps you guessing even while it maintains its supernatural (or theological) undertow simmering beneath the surface." SCREEN
"An astonishing and highly original piece of young French cinema." CINEUROPA
"The Wakhan Front is a haunting and original work." CINEVUE
