A small film that it's executed in such a way that it appears bigger, and that doesn't mean the film lacks anything. [Full review in Spanish]

As for Mielants, he skillfully orchestrates the disparate elements...

This is a devastating indictment of the human instinct to survive.

Wil wisely tells an absorbing small-scale story that keenly represents the big-picture conflict.

Netflix's Will is a Morbidly captivating character study about one's own salvation.

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Will (2024) is just another WWII movie. It’s not a bad movie. But it’s not doing anything to push the medium, and the areas where it attempts to are more exhausting than impactful.

Rated: 5/10

There’s a lot of good WWII movies and this one is definitely not one of them!

This movie portrays a realistic view of life under facism and should motivate anyone doubting the real-life impact of facism on a previously democratize society. Frighteningly relevant in 2024.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

"Wil," directed by Tim Mielants, is a gripping film that captures the feel of World War II-era Belgium. The atmosphere and worldbuilding are incredible, as usual with Mielants, and the 4:3 aspect ratio really adds to the vintage feel of the story. The acting is top-notch, with Stef Aerts and the rest of the cast doing a fantastic job bringing their characters to life. The storytelling and cinematography are exceptional, making the tough and heartbreaking story stick with you long after the credits roll. As a Belgian, I love seeing my country's history portrayed so well on screen. However, the film does have some pacing issues, which is why it doesn't quite reach a higher rating. Despite that, "Wil" is a well-made and engaging film that’s definitely worth watching for anyone interested in historical dramas.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
