Reception
Critic Janet Maslin wrote an overall positive review in the New York Times citing the film as "somewhat hazy and highly imaginative", arguing that Little Wars "is on the weak side as drama, and it's somewhat obscure as a political statement, but as a still-life and mood piece it is highly effective."[2]
