Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
More soap opera than high drama, the film is confused and confusing, and tedious to boot.
– John Anderson,

rotten:
As directed by the Czech veteran Juraj Herz in prestige-television style, the bulk of the film is a classically proportioned and tasteful wartime soap opera.

fresh:
Compensates for its under-occupation familiarity with poignant performances, confident direction and an impressively sober sense of how the era's tragedy kept expanding exponentially.
– Nick Schager,

fresh:
A World War II melodrama with a hook, Habermann does a credible job of personalizing a period of the war largely unknown outside the Czech Republic.
