About
You’ll like Frantz if you enjoy tender, human drama set after WWI with lingering grief and themes of forgiveness and truth; Not for you if you want a fast, action-heavy war film or big emotional outbursts.
Pros: poignant WWI aftermath; beautiful black-and-white; sensitive drama | Cons: slow start; understated resolution; some misleading surprises
