Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerSep 9, 2016
The great Ennio Morricone, still going strong at 87, wrote the marvelous film score. Read full review

ObserverRex ReedSep 9, 2016
Come What May is not exactly a new idea but a sensitive, polished and carefully executed film anyway, extremely thoughtful and well worth seeing. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesSheri LindenSep 29, 2016
With its old-fashioned gloss, the incident-packed story proves only mildly engaging and finally has little to say. Read full review

If you ever wanted to see a wartime movie that feels directed by a kinder, gentler Michael Bay, Come What May is right up your alley.

Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovSep 21, 2016
Come What May over-romanticizes the horrific, forced French exodus. Read full review

The New York TimesGlenn KennySep 8, 2016
The depredations of the Nazis are depicted in a way that will make viewers want to declare war on Germany anew. But Come What May is also too pretty of a movie. It is often sentimental and, worse, schematic. Read full review

Christian Carion's film shamelessly wrings excitement from the recreation of violent ideological conflict. Read full review
