Movie Reviews

Hollywood Reporter - 9/10 by Jordan MintzerThe overall effect is still too bland to cause a real stir, and Carion concludes the long voyage pretty much in the way you expect.
rec.arts.movies.reviews - 9/10 by Louis ProyectA poignant tale of a mass exodus that will certainly relate to today's tragedy, even if some shallow film critics can't make that connection.
New York Times - 8/10 by Glenn KennyThe depredations of the Nazis are depicted in a way that will make viewers want to declare war on Germany anew. But Come What May is also too pretty of a movie. It is often sentimental and, worse, schematic.
Spirituality and Practice - 7/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatDrama about an epic movement of French citizens fleeing the German invasion in 1940.
Buffalo News - 6/10 by Mark SommerCome What May has its share of suspenseful and touching moments, while reminding viewers of the hardships faced by refugees of war, then and now.
RogerEbert.com - 5/10 by Odie HendersonIf you ever wanted to see a wartime movie that feels directed by a kinder, gentler Michael Bay, Come What May is right up your alley. It plays like a more cultured — and very French — version of “Pearl Harbor," complete with bad CGI battle sequences, jaw-dropping plot coincidences, over-the-top nationalistic gestures and dialogue that often sounds swiped from a soap opera.
Arizona Republic - 5/10 by Bill GoodykoontzThe best thing about the movie is Matthew Rhys.
KDHX (St. Louis) - 5/10 by Diane CarsonThe film did need a steadier hand on the helm.
Los Angeles Times - 4/10 by Sheri LindenWith its old-fashioned gloss, the incident-packed story proves only mildly engaging and finally has little to say.
Slant Magazine - 3/10 by Clayton DillardChristian Carion's film shamelessly wrings excitement from the recreation of violent ideological conflict.
