Here is what I thought about.

Follow Ups:
The build up to the film, and the postscript to the film, indicates that it was based upon a true story. After seeing the film, I was not sure if any part was true, or how much was true. Not having been familiar with the events, this film did little to answer any questions, or provide much information. It seems that it was made for the viewer who had some knowledge of the subject matter prior to seeing the film. I still do not know who all the players were, what they were supposed to be doing, and why they were involved in the story. All I know is that the Catholic Church hid a French officer, accused of killing Jews during WWII, and that there were vigilantes after him, and that someone (hired by who?) was trying to find him to locate an officer in the French government who collaborated with him.It needed a tight screenplay, which it did not have. I felt like I came in on the middle of the story, and the flashbacks provided little context and history.
It is about the fact that the Catholic church helped a lot of Catholic Nazis hide in diverse monestaries, in fact until the Ninety and we can suppose until...now too.
A lost occasion.
