An engaging and intriguing film about a well known genre, yet one that takes a unique spin. We know of the persecution of the Jews, but little about the details of their plight, and even less so about those in Scandinavia. A young woman who loses her parents has to fend for herself in the bitter winter of Norway. She decides to take cover, cuts her hair and poses as a boy. She befriends a boy and is allowed to stay on boys father's farm. Then story collapses when the boy's father commits suicide because the German's have commandeered his farm, his wife has cuckolded him, and he finds out that his son's friend is not only a girl but a Jew. The story shows the precariousness of life for anyone under Nazi regime, a life in which the subjugated are always in danger of losing it all at any moment, Jew or non Jew. Well acted, paced, and presented. Thoroughly enjoyed it

Great story and plot. WWII movie buffs will love it, even without the bang. Terrific acting and scenery. Gracious and hopeful ending. I can't say enough about Sarah-Sofie Boussnina. How anyone can rate this movie less than six (6) stars is beyond me. Give it a shot. You won't be disappointed.

Decent film though Esther doesn't really look like a male a story that should be told liked it was in English

Ok - apologies, I've over rated this film, should probably be about a 7/7.5 - I'm just astounded at the low score it got. I liked the feel/flow/storyline etc, but really just trying to boost the rating.

I loved this film, excellent story with girlpower shot beautifully. An excellent watch and a must see

Atrocious plot, bad acting, cinematography was garbage and the writing was just awful. Another waste of time and piece of drivel from non-original non-thinkers.

... but sadly I'm an adult. This movie is basically an empowering tale for teen girls, and a rather contrived one at that, but it's aesthetically pleasing and well acted. It's also too implausible for an adult to really enjoy it.
