Desson Thomson Washington Post 07/02/2004
A picture-book French film that's pretty and trite, rather than edgy and moving. Go to Full Review Stephen Hunter Washington Post 07/02/2004
Has the strange clarity of a fable. Go to Full Review Melinda Ennis Atlanta Journal-Constitution 07/01/2004

Ulliel is brilliant as a lost boy who has grown mad in a world filled with madness. And Beart's portrayal is haunting. Go to Full Review Steve Erickson Gay City News 03/08/2018
However prosaic the conclusion seems, the film's vision of wide-open space-both physical and mental-cannot be extinguished. Go to Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com 06/10/2009

Andre Techine, maestro of the French New Wave directors, tells a seductively simple story of survival set on the outskirts of German occupied Paris in June of 1940. Go to Full Review Anton Bitel Film4 06/15/2007

12/27/2020 Compelling drama with a luminous Beart and Ulliel filled with charisma that ultimately feels somewhat contrived and predictable to the end See more 12/12/2012 could not understand language See more 06/07/2012 Its slow pace makes me bored. See more 01/19/2012 I dont know a hoot about French history. Nevertheless I enjoyed this movie a lot. Although it's a story of a Parisian family running away from war, this is not exactly a period war movie. it deals with the struggles of a family to survive, and the relation between a widowed mother and a young stranger. See more 06/05/2011 Great WWII civilian movie taking place in France! See more 04/25/2011 i like Odile's children, especially the little girl :) a good play on the contrast between good and evil.
