This review contains info which some may consider spoilers.
This movie could have been great, but the Tuur character was often annoyingly stupid & hot-headed, almost as if he has emotional problems. The complications from the seem unnecessarily, except that's the only way the plot moves forward. The coming of age portion of the story is almost completely overshadowed by this. At times I found it difficult to care about the character. The character of Lambet on the other hand shows more depth and development. It's much easier to watch as he learns to navigate Holland during the early part of Nazi occupation. He doesn't go through the stupid stage to suddenly being more mature and it is much easier to become invested in his story I'm glad I didn't pay to see it, but glad I watched it on Netflix.
