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.

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.

Grim. Well made, but wish I hadn’t seen it.

This is a no frills, grim reality, portrayal of the events of war, not to romantic, idealised, heroic verison that many people want to see. I imagine during WW2 many people faced these conflicting emotions and choices based on the dynamic between conscience, values and the reality of survival. This is one of the most realistic and uncomfortable portayals I have seen and as such commendable. Well acted and convincing and the german officer Gregor is truely disturbing.

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.

This film is so depressing and uninspiring unlike many other war films on Netflix.
