Nice balance of plot and characters, avoids some WW2 hackneyed scenes I've seen too many times. I wasn't too keen on minor details of the ending.
Fast moving, with pauses for emotional emphasis. Visually beautiful. Held my attention all the way, and got me thinking.
Really interestingly cast, used tastefully in restrained performances which contributed to the apprehensive feeling of dread that pervades the movie. Rings true to my idea of the times, quiet frantic fear.
I may have been unfortunate in seeing an edited version for TV, as some of the fast cuts between scenes were a bit too much for me and I had to catch up with where the story was.
Well worth a look
