| eFilmCritic.comErik ChildressCombining the uncompromised bloody horror of war with the aftermath mystery of a heroine just trying to find the boy she loves. Yes, it's the anti-Cold Mountain. |
| Arizona Daily StarPhil VillarrealIn different hands, the story of Mathilde would play as solemn or tedious, but Jeunet peppers the script with moments of light, heart-achy humor. |
| Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternIt's a magical film which manages to transport and rivet us in the same highly-imaginitive, breezily playful way "Amelie" did. |
