Berri's film lacks both suspense and a heroine who actually breaks a sweat while hurling herself in the path of one of the 20th century's most merciless juggernauts.

A love story or a tale of the resistance, this poignant movie tells both the haunting story of a French resistance cell in Lyon but also the love of Lucie Aubrac for her husband...
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

What are critics saying?
Chicago Tribune by Barbara Shulgasser
This is one not to be missed.
Philadelphia Inquirer by Desmond Ryan
Achieves the rare feat of fusing tightly ratcheted suspense with intense romance.
L.A. Weekly by Hazel-Dawn Dumpert
Aside from isolated flares of unchecked emotion ...Bouquet's Lucie is too far removed from our ken of romance and overriding purpose, or from Berri's for that matter, to be embraced entirely.
A very romantic picture.
New York Post by Jonathan Foreman
Oddly undramatic.
TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
Handsomely photographed and acted...defiantly old-fashioned testament to the power of love.
Austin Chronicle by Marc Savlov
It's a love story, though, and all the more poignant for being one that actually survived under such tempestuous circumstances.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer by Paula Nechak
Gorgeous re-creation of another time.
San Francisco Chronicle by Peter Stack
French director Claude Berri's exquisite, methodical Lucie Aubrac is a romantic thriller so tightly drawn it almost leaves one breathless.
