Resistance

The film is lazily manipulative here, as the sounds of an angelic children's choir are contrasted with scenes of brutal executions.

Eisenberg simply doesn't convince as Marceau for a moment...

This was a film worth making and its mere existence does honour to an extraordinary life. We're better with it than without it.

As a film, it wasn't brilliant, but still gripping with many set pieces that work very well...I came out wanting to know more...flawed, not perfect, but fascinating and uplifting...

Resistance may be good enough at what it does, but what it does is more horse manure than history.

It's ultimately useless as veracious historical drama.

Eisenberg twinkles and charms as the brave teenager and gives emotional weight to a heartfelt treatment of a remarkable true story.

Jesse Eisenberg is very good in Resistance, but ultimately the film is a reminder that a Mime is a terrible thing to waste.

Keenly shot, deeply affecting, and historically valuable, “Resistance” brings to surface another largely unknown true story of courage and sacrifice set during the Holocaust.

Imperfect as it is, there's no faulting the intent of Jakubowicz's film. It is sincere in all its choices and never leans too hard on a moment to try to wring it for maximum emotion.
