    A masterpiece..
    I am a big fan of war movies and heard a lot about this film. I saw it last night and was totally blown away (excuse the pun).the acting especially by the three kids was first class.the boy with ptsd was harrowing the way the doctors treating him.when the school got hit and the parents running to the school you could feel the anxiety and pain in their faces.and it a true story as well..the sub plot with the policeman (ivar the boneless from vikings) and the nun I thought was a bit pointless it's my only gripe but doesn't detract from a fantastic film a definite must see even if you don't like war films. 10 out of 10..

    This should have won awards.
    The cinematography is superb. The acting is brilliant. The story compelling. And very close to the events.

    Why has this not won any major awards is beyond me.

    The futility of war is there for all to see.

    Took me back to my childhood surviving the civil war in Lebanon and the close encounters with death and when my school was shelled.

    The movie felt real, it transported me/you to 1945. I for sure will check out the director and the rest of the casts work as it it was sublime.

    The final running scene got me, got a bit of "Run lola run" but with the hammer of emotions.

    Bravo to all for making this.

    Your mate from London.
