Here is a review from a movie-goer in Germany (from the imdb.com website):
“I was sceptical before watching this film but by the end I had tears running down my cheeks.
“By depicting the feelings and destinies of the soldiers, the film demonstrated the absurdity of war and how each soldier is more than a mere cannon target. It is a commentary on the utter stupidity of politics governing war events from behind curtains while not actually experiencing the real war. By depicting a unique event in European war history that occurred on Christmas day 1914 it shows viewers that Europeans can be as one even as 'enemies.'”
