3 stars out of 5 -- Koolhoven manages the difficult balance of entertaining as well as offering a high emotional impact, with considerable agility.
Box Office
3 stars out of 5 -- Koolhoven is mostly good with actors, the period is strongly evoked and there are strong moments...
Empire
Rating: 2/4 --
...there's a lack of momentum here that prevents the viewer from connecting to the material on a frustratingly continuous basis...

Reel Film Reviews
The film is relatively well appointed, especially in its recreation of historical period and detail...
Sight and Sound
Rating: 2/4 --
Shot beautifully and it evokes its setting well, but sometimes the movie relies a little too much on plot trickery and not enough on the emotional state of its main character.

Rating: B --
Writer-director Martin Koolhoven hits just the right balance of domesticity and oppression here, setting up the film's tense second half with sweet early touches of naivete.

Product Description:
As helmed by Martin Koolhoven (HET ZUIDEN), the Dutch-language saga OORLOGSWINTER stars Martijn Lakemeier as Michiel van Beusekom, a young man who becomes involved in the Dutch resistance during the final winter of World War II. Though this represents a heroic move on the boy's part, the experience ultimately leads to complete disillusionment, as it brings Michiel face to face with the realization that during times of war, good and evil are actually intertwined.
