Our Review Editorial
June 1940: France signs the armistice, the country buckles, and one obscure general refuses to accept the terms. Building its drama out of collapse rather than victory, the film follows the flight to London and the improbable insistence that something worth saving remains. Across a substantial two hours and forty minutes there is room for politics, argument, and the particular loneliness of a man whose only weapon at first is refusal.
Historical-drama audiences who like their period films stately and detail-rich are the natural fit here. Expect a deliberate pace, weighty conversations in rooms where a nation's fate is being decided, and a portrait of conviction under maximum pressure. It asks for a settled evening rather than a casual one, but viewers who enjoy wartime chronicles told from the corridors as much as the battlefield will find the runtime well spent.
