What does the press think …
According to Télé Loisirs:
Together with screenwriters Jerome Toner and Valerie Zenati, the director of the summer trilogy “Camping” brilliantly adapts the novel of the same name by Christian Sinoli. In the shoes of several brave and humane farmers who chose to hide in the house of two Jewish children, actors Matilda Seiner and Gerard Lanvin are horrible. 4/ 5
According to Télé 7 Jours:
A moving drama between Jean-Loop Hubert’s Le Grand Chemin and Claude Chabrol’s La Ligne demarkation. Matilda Seiner and Gerard Lanvin form a heartbreaking couple, full of tenderness, simplicity and generosity. 4/5
According to Tele Z:
The TV movie attracts the viewer with its simple story, colorlessness and sober interpretation of the main actors. 3.5 / 5
According to Le Figaro:
We did not expect Fabien Enteniente, the successful mainstream comedy director (…) behind the 2012 adaptation of Christian Sinol’s book, Les Enfants des Justes. An educational story, he succeeded in his bet. 3.5 / 5
According to Le Parisien:
It lacks a bit of breath in this historical drama, which still reminds us that humanity’s gestures are flourishing in the midst of horror. 3/5
According to Telerama:
The story of this brave couple undoubtedly deserved a more sophisticated treatment than suggested by Camping and Jet Set director Fabien Ontiente. Here everything is explained, supported, hammered (…) The film is more awkward than rolling. 1.5 / 5
