Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Seeing the French Resistance through the eyes of little kids yields a cutesy, simplistic and sentimental would-be fable in "War of the Buttons."
– Kyle Smith,
New York Post,
12 Oct 2012
fresh:
Though it's handled with little subtlety, the way the atmosphere of suspicion in Vichy France filters down to the kids is a smart slant on the material.
– Sheri Linden,
Los Angeles Times,
12 Oct 2012
rotten:
The two threads aren't really woven together into the sort of tight, overarching theme that the film seems built to convey.
– Tom Russo,
Boston Globe,

rotten:
Barratier can't seem to do anything with it other than keep raising the violence and anger.
– Tom Keogh,
Seattle Times,
25 Oct 2012
rotten:

– Joe Williams,
