Elizabeth Kerr The Hollywood Reporter A sturdy, well-mounted historical romance. Oct 15, 2019 Full Review Nicholas Oon Maximum Hype (YouTube) The movie uses its strong plot and writing to paint a picture of how characters deal with suffering. Sep 5, 2021 Full Review James Marsh South China Morning Post Abe's performance is hindered by his limited English ... Likewise, the English-speaking characters are left hobbled by some poor dialogue and mannered overexpression. Rated: 2.5/5 Dec 27, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member the movie was amazing, really gives you a vibrant feeling when watching. it takes you deep into how people cope during the postwar. it is a must watch Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A great cast of British actors gets wasted by a corny script, and a series of non-sensical reactions that leaves you rather annnoyed. Carelessly set dramatic scenes are played with the most unlikely timing and reactions, losing this away any dramatic effect and appearing overall subpar and amateur. Non-English speaking actors could have been left with their own language and subtitles. Overall a terribly directed film, with good photography. Skip it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
