Reviews
The lexicon of international films describes Die Wache as "the fascinating test of talent of a young director".
The New York Times was negative about the plot of the film. However, it is a gripping portrait of student life in France. The reviewer also praised the actors, especially lead actor Emmanuel Salinger .
In the opinion of the movie magazine Box Office Magazine , the director had some good ideas in terms of content and style, but implemented them poorly, so that the result is a mediocre David Lynch copy.
