3.5/4

Reminiscent of such desert island classics as Swept Away and Lord of the Flies, this film is at heart, a microscopic suspense drama quite independent of the war which brought its unfortunate characters together.

The film provides some sort of closure at the historical point in which conventional WW2 film would only begin.

A psychologically acute study of individuals in extreme circumstances. It is not easily forgotten.

The film is really more about the aftershocks of war, and how they upset the internal balance of its survivors.

A picture-book French film that's pretty and trite, rather than edgy and moving.

Ulliel is brilliant as a lost boy who has grown mad in a world filled with madness. And Beart's portrayal is haunting.

If Bon Voyage ... didn't satiate your desire for films about the Nazi occupation of France in World War II, you're in luck. Another one has washed up on our shores, and it's even better.

..excels in period atmosphere and photography...But there’s also a lack of drive and urgency in Techine’s direction, which become most obvious in the muffled ending.
