Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
A picture-book French film that's pretty and trite, rather than edgy and moving.

Has the strange clarity of a fable.

Ulliel is brilliant as a lost boy who has grown mad in a world filled with madness. And Beart's portrayal is haunting.

fresh:
A beautifully balanced portrait of a family that is tested and irrevocably altered by a devastating World War II experience.

War may set the stage for Strayed, but the film's real focus is something much quieter and internal.
