Intense, riveting and earnest...a beacon of wit and sophistication in an age of too many vapid gay DVD’s. Haunting...beautiful...sexy and stirring!”
Randall Shulman, INSTINCT MAGAZINE

“Brilliant! Beautifully acted and crafted! One of the best titles this year!”

Tom Danna, PM ENTERTAINMENT

"Extremely well acted by the handsome Jérémie Renier as noble Jean, and Nicolas Gob, as his conniving younger brother, this is a worthwhile, and deeply affecting film that sheds light on how various people coped during this horrible period of history.”

Gary Kramer, SAN FRANCISCO BAY TIMES

“A full-scale epic story, filmed in broad strokes, which delivers a powerfully moving punch!”
Leonard Maran, SF OBSERVER

“An extremely well-made and well-acted focus on a terrifying period of history. Check it out.”
Lacey Worrell, DVDTalk.com

“Gripping, heart-wrenching, and emotionally charged!”
Bill Lapointe, BLADE

“Engrossing! A stirring tale of gay male lovers in the Nazi era!”
Dennis Harvey, VARIETY

“Beautifully shot and impeccably directed. The acting is flawless.”
Sue Katz, EDGE BOSTON

“Intelligent, powerful, understated, and immensely moving. The cast is absolutely brilliant and the production fully realizes the look, the sound, and the feeling of Paris under Nazi occupation!”
Grady Harp, AMAZON.COM

“The best gay themed film to come our way in a long time! You will be on the edge of your seat! A LOVE TO HIDE explicitly shows that inhumanity as well as the goodness of man. The photography and the music are stunning, the acting is sublime and the script is first rate. This is one film you do not want to miss.”
Amos Lassen, CINEMA PRIDE

“An elegant, deeply felt story about how the Nazi era tore people apart and, at the same time, forced them together. A remarkable piece of work!”
Will Doig, METROWEEKLY (Washington D.C.)

“A well-made, informative piece that entertains! The performances are all great, the movie is paced and shot beautifully!”
Jeff Walsh, OASIS MAGAZINE

“Irresistibly compelling! Fresh and illuminating!”
Michael Fox, JEWISH NEWS WEEKLY

“Wonderful! Powerful! Beautifully directed! One of the best European gay movies!”
Paul Harris, THE INDEPENDENT
