Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A forgotten film that explores sexual adult situations!
"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.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - 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.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not in English
The movie is OK, but they don't tell you it is not in English. Amazon lists the langauge as English, and there is some, but most of the movie is in Dutch or German with subtitles.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very Touching Movie
This movie was very beautiful and touching. Looking at it through "American" eyes might make some a bit uncomfotable, but if you look at it on a deeper level, you see that it's not about predatory behavior, but about connectedness and identity.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Not for the completely prudish or timid
While the movie was done with a lot of sensitivity, there is one particular scene that intimates quite a bit. However, I applaud the writer and director for leaving it in. The movie slowly touches on a very tough and sensitive topic, but succeeds at doing it in such a way so that you are left to make your own decisions. That takes skill. Acting was fairly good by the youth. Adults were less impressive, but not enough that it diminished the movie.
