I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with my fellow countrymen : I think 'Guernsey' is a terrific movie & especially Kraakman in the lead does a splendid job. It doesn't have much dialog, but that works fine, most Dutch films die in the scripting anyway, apart maybe from a gem such as 'Simon' or some very good book-adaptations. The scenery is well chosen and especially the African dessert reminded me somewhat of Antonioni's 'The Passenger', with which it joins more similarities. Whether that is a coincidence or not : the director can take it as a compliment. Everything is in the details and asks for more than one viewing. For me certainly one of the best Dutch films ever made !
