“Terrifically performed piece of filmed theatre is filled with twists, turns and underhanded schemes that show how history sometimes lies in the hands of a selected few.”~Jordan Mintzer, The Hollywood Reporter

Aroview: A thematically rich and expertly staged historical drama that depicts the relationship between Dietrich von Choltitz, the German military governor of occupied Paris, and Swedish consul-general Raoul Nordling, who attempts to persuade Choltitz not to leave Paris in ruins.

3 stars (Good Enough) Most of the enactment of the drama is limited space-wise so it is a credit to the writing and the two main performers that interest never lags. ~Tubbs

4 stars (Very Good) Well-acted & compact. Clever script. Everyone who loves France should see this film. The youth of the soldiers adds realism. A beautiful film revealing courage in unexpected places. ~Sandy
