A vivid slice of life -- and love -- during the 1944 Allied bombardment of Berlin.
Jane Sumner, Dallas Morning News

The film ... isn't up to the complexities the story raises, but it's a consistently engrossing piece of work.
Charles Taylor, Salon.com

Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

Schrader plays Felice with a kind of doomed and reckless bravery.
