"The film is sometimes too sentimental, too predictable in its drift, but electric in individual moments."

Village Voice
Village Voice"Both grimly naturalistic and infused with classical values at their most thoughtfully composed, "Land of Mine" is epic but deeply intimate; elegant but tough."
—
The Washington Post
The Washington Post"Again and again, its stark and suspenseful compositions strike the eye-figures in dark clothing, prone on a pale beach, with lines of wire, black warning flags, and the chill gray waves beyond."
—
The New Yorker
The New Yorker"A tight and suspenseful film..."
—
The New York Times
The New York Times"With its muted colours and naturalistic lighting, the film aptly captures the beauty of seaside locales that frame the human struggle at the story's heart."
—
Roger Ebert
Roger Ebert"A classic wide-screen World War II epic but with a number of unsettling twists."
—
Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times"Ham-fisted though the drama might be, this 2015 Danish-German production will almost certainly keep you awake, not least because every few scenes some poor kid is getting blown to bits through fear, incaution, or plain bad luck."
