Sheri Linden Los Angeles Times 09/29/2016
With its old-fashioned gloss, the incident-packed story proves only mildly engaging and finally has little to say. Go to Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle 09/22/2016
2/5
The plight of wartime refugees has rarely if ever looked so picture-postcard perfect as it does in this well-intentioned but ultimately plodding and far too painterly period melodrama. Go to Full Review Bill Goodykoontz Arizona Republic 09/15/2016
2.5/5
"Come What May" is a paint-by-numbers account of a real-life World War II event, the displacement of eight million people from their homes in France. Go to Full Review David Bax Battleship Pretension 01/05/2021
There's nothing more to it than meets the eye. Its lessons about cooperation and everyone fulfilling roles in the group according to their own strengths are high school essay basic. Go to Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com 09/15/2020
2.5/5
As far as war movies go, Come What May plays it safe, a melodrama which prizes the picturesque over the grotesque, and often to its own narrative detriment. Go to Full Review Cate Marquis We Are Movie Geeks 05/01/2019
3.5/5
[It] is a very sincere historical film about an overlooked aspect of WWII, well-directed and beautifully shot with some nice acting and moving scenes, if a rather conventional dramatic film overall. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

07/28/2021 Superb! Do not pay any attention to the professional film critics that probably never found out what real life is like. This movie follows along as it is written in diaries, history, and journals of ordinary people trying to survive. This is what happens when there is such hatred against civilians. See more Alexandra H @RT99463632 04/12/2017 I loved this movie!!! It's beautifully made and acted. It captures the pathos of French villagers doing the best they can to flee the on-coming German Blitzkrieg. The lead characters are attractive people that you're rooting for. The father's love for his young son makes all the madness bearable. It's an inspiring story of beating the odds. See more 11/03/2016 Una pelicula con buenas intenciones, solo eso.
