Rating: - WONDERFULLY HUMAN
If this film weren't so well done, it could be dismissed as exploitive. It's the tale of a young boy and a soldier (who truly can't be more than a man in his early 20s) who fall in love with each other. Because the subject is so jarring, I was waiting for the moment when it would all come undone. That moment never came. Instead, the film maker handles the characters so sensitively that their circumstances make their experiences seem all the more human and understandable. This is not a film for everyone ...

Rating: - Disappointing
The problem seems to me to be that the director wasn't quite sure what he wanted to say. The story is of a young lad who is evacuated from Amsterdam to a fire-breathing church place-of-safety and is befriended first by a slightly older but physically maturer boy and then by a young Canadian/American soldier who is also lonely and out of place.

"For a lost soldier" is one of these controversial films that demands from the viewer a whole maturity and absolute conveyance, because deals with complex psychological behaviour, into the distorted ambiance of a relentless war, where the feelings sometimes stand out of a thoughtful control.

At the end of the WW2 , a boy of just 12, initiates his sexual awake with a Canadian soldier who works out as his handsome liberator.

Previously we had the chance to watch "Midnight porter" ... Read More

Rating: - A good movie with love that comes from the heart
A good heart warming movie. Its background is Nazi occupied country somewhere near the Dutch. It deals with a boy who has to leave his family and live with strangers in the counry side because there isn't enough food. He later meets a soldier and they fall in love. The movie is tactfully done but it deals with the taboo subject of boy love. Recommended for those who keep a open mind to true love.
