Maybe a bit foolish of me but I was really hoping the characters would be speaking their native language. It would hit so much harder hearing this in german and french instead of a weird mix of a bunch of english accents.

WOW. This is a masterpiece of storytelling. The casting was stellar and the performances were magical. The cinematography captured the grittiness of occupied France and the horrors of the invaders were on full display. If I have any complaints in the storytelling they might be twofold, all Germans were portrayed as the darkest of evil (I don’t believe it was that black and white) and the connection between Werner and Marie was a little too much of a rushed fairytale at the end. But, the whole was a wonderful romantic journey, in the classical sense of the power of lofty ideals rather than in human attraction. I give this limited series a 9 (superb) out of 10.

This is a really well done show. The acting is excellent and what action it has is quite impactful. Definitely worth a watch.

If you have not read the book, I think this would be thoroughly enjoyable. Unfortunately I have read the book (several times) & was thoroughly disappointed.

Where to begin. I was quite disappointed by this movie. What to expect from an American production that prefers to alter history instead of keeping it more realistic. I’ve not read the book but I still disappointed. I don’t know what rode Mark Ruffalo to invent a completely random and immensely distracting accent. Everyone else basically spoke normally. The German actors spoke almost perfect English, even though their characters were German. What a weird choice. No French actors for the French characters for some reason but a Frenchman playing a German. Netflix really knows how to cast . Generally it was just too much of everything. The only enjoyable actress was Aria Mia Loberti. I’d expect them to cast someone who can see and then badly pretend to be blind but that fortunately was not the case. Really well done. Louis Hofmann was enjoyable as well and cannot believe how his appearance changed from the movies I know him off.
