Reviews
"Frantz," a moving film set in post-World War I Europe, looks at truth and lies and the necessity for both in a grieving world that makes no sense.Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic
A fine bilingual cast, haunting period detail and a provocative approach to a twisting story carry the day.Kate Taylor, Globe and Mail
With its subtle, artistic execution and poignant story, Frantz becomes a thoughtful reflection on the pain of war and the nature of forgiveness, even in the most extreme of circumstances. It's also a tragic reminder of how love can transcend deep wounds.Josh Terry, Deseret News, Salt Lake City
