    Did Not Enjoy This Movie

    First, the good things. The production design and locations were great. The props and weapons seemed authentic and accurate to the times. Even the makeup looked good.

    HOWEVER, I found the story to be self indulgent. This 2 hour movie could have easily be 90 minutes without losing any of the plot or story and the ending certainly does not reward the audience for sticking around until the end. There was far too much narration and dialogue and the emotion felt forced and unauthentic.

    The way this movie was shot and framed felt like I was watching a student film rather than an actual movie. And then to top it off, the English subtitles had many grammatical and punctuation errors. I'm not really sure why this film got distribution or awards, but if you're looking for a French WWII movie to watch, this one is not it.

    Very cool movie

    I use to watch world war two movies and this one is kindly special because a big part of the story takes place under the ground with few actors all around the scenes. I really appreciate this challenge and it works well in my opinion. We can feel the distress of the main actor who keeps in mind family as one of reasons to escape from this trap. There are some great camera shots showing us territories of France. I love memories scenes about the main character and his father. I also like soundtracks and making of too. Nice job, congradulations to the director and his team. I recommend it. Feeling of claustrophobia is guaranteed.
