If you like Keira Knightley or WWII films, you will really enjoy this movie. Some people will find it slow, boring, and depressing. However, if you are prepared for WWII realism, then this film will provide a unique take on a wartime love story with a sympathetic German character. For over 50 years, Hollywood versions of WWII Europe centered around the 'Devil German' character. This film provides both sides of the sad story. Well done.
