Movie Reviews

Total Film - 8/10 by Stephen PuddicombeThe solemn score, plucky Brits and nasty Nazis are all familiar, but there's a lived-in feel that transcends cliché.
The Spectator - 8/10 by Deborah RossIt's the kind of story that has been told countless times, and here it's told in such a perfunctory, plodding way that it brings nothing new to the party.
Stuff.co.nz - 7/10 by Graeme Tuckett... a modest, timely and mostly admirable film that tells an astonishing story of heroism, as though that heroism was nothing special.
The Australian - 7/10 by David StrattonThough one or two of the details of what follows don't ring entirely true, Another Mother's Son, directed by Christopher Menaul, succeeds admirably in its depiction of life on Jersey under the Nazis.
Guardian - 6/10 by Peter BradshawAt first, there is a bit of a familiar taste to this true-life wartime tale. But it becomes something tougher.
Dog and Wolf - 6/10 by Alexa DalbyJenny Seagrove's unglamorous, passionate performance creates a courageous, stubborn woman, brusque at times but full of love, and the centre of close family relationships.
Radio Times - 6/10 by Trevor JohnstonThis is a story absolutely worth telling, the closing captions leaving us in no doubt about the heroism of average Channel Islanders during those darkest of hours.
HeyUGuys - 6/10 by Stefan PapeThere's a suspense prevalent throughout this piece, simply coming off the back of the fact the protagonists are constantly looking over their shoulder, worried one small mistake could cost them their lives.
Flicks.co.nz - 4/10 by Liam MagurenThe sets and costuming are era-appropriate, but director Christopher Menaul's no-frills approach usually boils down to 'point cameras at actors'.
The List - 4/10 by Angie ErrigoA period drama that fails to escape the unmistakable air of a middling ITV3 drama.
