France, 1940. In the first days of occupation, beautiful Lucile Angellier is trapped in a stifled existence with her controlling mother-in-law as they both await news of her husband: a prisoner of war. Parisian refugees start to pour into their small town, soon followed by a regiment of German soldiers who take up residence in the villagers' own homes. Lucile initially tries to ignore Bruno von Falk, the handsome and refined German officer staying with them. But soon, a powerful love draws them together and leads them into the tragedy of war.

I loved everything about Suite Francaise. A feel of Romeo and Juliet, having two lovers being torn part from outside circumstances, although i will not give away the ending. The scenery and visuals were stunning. It reflected the history of the time so well with the vile behavior of the Nazis and the attitudes of the small-town folk. I just loved the whole story of it and it is something different from your other average romantic movie nowadays. Great casting for Suite Francaise, particularly Matthias Schoenaerts as the German soldier Bruno Van Falk. The sub-plot (if of one) of Celine and Benoit was thrilling and astounding, played by Margot Robbie and Sam Riley. I was really following the character's journeys throughout and rooting for them, hoping everything would work out okay for them. despite them being caught up in one of the world's most deadly of wars ever. I commend this movie and recommend it to everyone, especially history buffs, hoping you will enjoy it as much as I truly did.

During war time sacrifices have to be made. Some have to do with our private space, some with our personal space too. All dig into our personal life and depending on the person invading (pun somewhat intended) it will lead to different results. So we may be inclined to paint every Nazi as a bad person or just a demon/devil without any depth or sympathy for that person.This movie does try to delve deeper into it and tell a bit of a different story. War is hard on everybody and depending on how your character is developed you'll make decisions that can be qualified as good or bad, be it in hindsight or just judging at the moment. The drama part does work and there are no easy solutions if any at all. Not an easy but an uncomfortable viewing experience which is exactly what it was meant to be

The movie is about WW2 drama/romance although i find the romantic part is not very convincing. The events go in a french village under the Nazi occupation. Michelle Williams did a very good job in this movie. She was very convincing and her acting was believable. On the other hand, Matthias Schoenaerts who plays the role of a German officer wasn't at the same level. The movie could've been much better if he was replaced with another more passionate actor. The overall drama is good and puts you through the suffering of the french people during WW2 but the love-story thing was not very convincing to me!. Kristin Scott Thomas also made an impressive performance. The movie has most of the elements of success, the story, actors, ...etc. But somehow, you feel that something is missing, like, the movie lack more events or a better leading actor!

I don't give many films a ten and even when I do, I manage to find a fault or two. This film is about as close to cinematic perfection as it gets. It's a tender love story, a heart rending drama, a well done war picture, a powerful suspense film, an accurate historical rendering. The casting is perfect. The acting is magnificent. The photography is creative. It's neither too short nor too long. The atmosphere is enveloping. Even the damn titles are great! If I wrote a one word review it would be WOW! Nor does it fall into the trap of making all the Germans bad guys and all the French heroes, in fact it's quite the opposite in places. The story is many things, But essentially it documents the impossible and irresolvable personal conflicts that war produces. Okay...one minor error I see somebody else has caught and which I wondered about myself as I watched. The film is set in June of 1940, immediately after the fall of France. Neither Charles DeGaulle nor the Free French had yet emerged. But that minor flaw is outweighed by the sheer magnificence and power of this production. One helluva movie!
