      One of 2008's biggest hits in its native Netherlands, where it outgrossed Twilight (2008) and The Dark Knight (2008).
    • Goofs
      When Jack and Erica are walking over the bridge near the end of the film, they are actually walking to the wrong side of the river. The wooden pylons in the water are on the side of the Veluwe, the woods in which Jack's plane crashed. Jack wanted to go to Zwolle, which is on the side Michiel is watching Jack and his sister cross the bridge. This is due to the fact that another bridge for a highway had been built next to it, which would have ended up in the movie had they filmed the right way around.

    Excellent World War II film through the eyes of the young
    " The Netherlands' official submission to 82nd Academy Award's Foreign Language in 2010"

    We saw this recently at the Academy screenings, and thought it one of the better foreign films we have seen this year. Hope it gets a nomination at least, and thus a US release! Contrary to some of the reviews here, we thought the acting was excellent. It's not Saving Private Ryan, but nevertheless quietly intense. More psychological than a battlefield story, it plays beautifully with the woven story of coming of age and into responsibility. As actors and as frequent voters for the foreign film category, definitely recommending this. -- Stephen and Ann Tobolowsky
