It’s an engaging story, elegantly conveyed with plenty of unexpected twists and turns. The acting is first rate (Nélisse and Rush are both exceptional), and – despite excessive use of filters – the film looks impressive, too.
What spoils it for me is the voice-over narrated by Death, an omniscient character kept unusually busy during the war. It comes across as clunky and awkward, interrupting the story and reducing the emotional impact of what you are seeing.
