A German resistant (August Diehl) searches for his son on the roads of France, even as the Wehrmacht spills over the border. A Scottish captain (Matthew Rhys) who is desperately trying to rejoin the retreating British joins the man.

With its old-fashioned gloss, the incident-packed story proves only mildly engaging and finally has little to say.

2/5

The plight of wartime refugees has rarely if ever looked so picture-postcard perfect as it does in this well-intentioned but ultimately plodding and far too painterly period melodrama.

2.5/5

"Come What May" is a paint-by-numbers account of a real-life World War II event, the displacement of eight million people from their homes in France.

There's nothing more to it than meets the eye. Its lessons about cooperation and everyone fulfilling roles in the group according to their own strengths are high school essay basic.

2.5/5

As far as war movies go, Come What May plays it safe, a melodrama which prizes the picturesque over the grotesque, and often to its own narrative detriment.

3.5/5

[It] is a very sincere historical film about an overlooked aspect of WWII, well-directed and beautifully shot with some nice acting and moving scenes, if a rather conventional dramatic film overall.

I loved this movie!!! It's beautifully made and acted. It captures the pathos of French villagers doing the best they can to flee the on-coming German Blitzkrieg. The lead characters are attractive people that you're rooting for. The father's love for his young son makes all the madness bearable. It's an inspiring story of beating the odds.
