Au revoir les enfants tells a heartbreaking story of friendship and devastating loss concerning two boys living in Nazi-occupied France. At a provincial Catholic boarding school, the precocious youths enjoy true camaraderie—until a secret is revealed. Based on events from writer-director Malle’s own childhood, the film is a subtle, precisely observed tale of courage, cowardice, and tragic awakening.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
If he'd made his childhood movie earlier in his career -- when he didn't have the sense to be so dispassionate -- it might have packed a meatier punch. Now it's just a deftly aimed poke.
– Desson Thomson,
Washington Post,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
It's a work that has the kind of simplicity, ease and density of detail that only a film maker in total command of his craft can bring off, and then only rarely.
– Vincent Canby,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
fresh:
The film's quiet integrity finally depends on his avoidance of heroic cliche and stylistic bombast, and on the unindulgent generosity extended towards his characters.
– Geoff Andrew,
Time Out,
9 Feb 2006
fresh:
In this frightening and beautiful film, a schoolboy must learn hard lessons early.
– Richard Corliss,
TIME Magazine,

fresh:
An ever-shifting balance of power is the film's greatest strength.
