The Last Front portrays Belgian resistance against German forces in World War I

theguardian.com October 29, 2024, 08:01 AM UTC

Summary: "The Last Front" is a new film set during the First World War, featuring Iain Glen as a Belgian farmer leading his village against German forces. The story follows Leonard Lambert as he shifts from personal concerns to resistance after Germans invade.

The film presents familiar themes and includes English-speaking actors with varying accents, which may detract from its authenticity. A notable scene involves a German officer's son committing an atrocity, marking a turning point in the narrative.

Despite some strong moments, the film suffers from clichés and uneven pacing. It opens in UK cinemas on November 1.
