Roméo and Juliette are two young actors. They fall in love at first sight, move in together and make a baby. A love story and the founding of a home like millions of others. Except that their little boy, Adam, behaves abnormally. The young parents try hard to persuade themselves that everything is okay but, with the passing of time, they cannot delude themselves anymore: their son has a problem. From now on, war is declared. A war against illness. A war against Death. A war against despair.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
True to its title, "Declaration of War" is a visceral, forthright visit to the front lines of battle, where superhuman courage is called for as life-or-death skirmishes turn into a long slog of survival.
– Ann Hornaday,
Washington Post,
23 Mar 2012
fresh:
The tonal shifts, the "Amelie"-style voiceover and the punk-retro soundtrack may jar some viewers who expect uninterrupted violins, but "Declaration of War" is alternative therapy that really works.
– Joe Williams,
St. Louis Post-Dispatch,
9 Mar 2012
fresh:
The subject matter is as serious as can be, yet the style is vibrant, energetic and engaging -- often tense, but without a trace of woe-is-me.
– Colin Covert,
Minneapolis Star Tribune,
17 Feb 2012
fresh:
"Declaration of War" movingly chronicles a unique and terrible fight: that of two parents against the cancer that has invaded the brain of their 18-month-old son.
– Moira MacDonald,
Seattle Times,

rotten:
As ponderous and overwrought as a film hogged by a couple of young hipsters named Romeo and Juliette can be.
