Reception
TV Guide reviewed the film, writing that " An interesting but slight character study, A SOLDIER'S TALE highlights the corrupt morality of wartime."[2] A reviewer for The Missoulian was dismissive, as they felt that it was "a talky bore".[3] John Koch of The Boston Globe called it "well-made, tough-minded and memorable".[4]
