ReviewsCine-Vue - It's obvious what O'Connor was trying to achieve and through the film's simplicity, fine performances and well-written screenplay, Private Peaceful is a delicate and warm portrayal of love for family, for friends, and for one's country, without the usual facade of over-exuberant jingoism., What's On TV - If there is something a little old-fashioned and televisual about the filmÆs family-friendly handling of its subject, the filmmakersÆ restraint ensures that the story remains quietly moving.
