San Francisco Chronicle

This isn't the first film to try to deal with the horrors of the Holocaust from a child's perspective, but it's tricky material, and this one succeeds because it is direct and forthright.

Rated: 3/4

For those ready to view it on its own terms, its gentle focus on family and persistence should go down easy.

This French tape has a remarkable Hollywood treatment that does not minimize its quality. [Full review in Spanish]

Duguay plays by formula but he does so with wisdom and without laziness.

The movie is interesting and shows a Jewish family in the holocaust. The plot is accurate because it is based on a novel written by Joseph Joffo, who is the main character in the movie, and it shows his real life during this time. I recommend this movie.

Un sac de billes is a moving Story of two Jewish Brothers and how they try to survive by themselves, the two Protagonists have done a fantastic Job, the Adapted Story Screenplay was great, and the Director of Photography/Cinematographer has done an absolutely amazing Job. Although I think the Character Development of the main Protagonist wasn't that good and Sometimes the Atmosphere feels somehow a bit too happy for such a Scary Theme. But I was really Entertained and had a great Time watching the Movie.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

nÃ£o concordo com a nota mediana do portal. em minha opiniÃ£o Ã (C) um filme que justamente se destaca pela simplicidade de uma histÃ³ria muito bem contada. a forma como concilia os eventos Ã (C) bÃ¡sica e sem muita firula. seguido sobretudo por uma linha narrativa que nÃ£o fica cansativa, afinal a histÃ³ria da segunda guerra jÃ¡ Ã (C) muito conhecida pelo pÃºblico. os atores contracena muito bem. para finalizar ainda contÃ (C)m algumas cenas de pontos altos como a colheita de tomate e de Jo quando sobe a mesa para ressaltar o orgulho de sua origem.
