This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

This documentary gives a intriguing insight into the process of writing, rehearsing and staging a musical. "Martin Guerre", written by the composer team of Alain Boublil and Claude Michel Schoenberg (Les Miserables, Miss Saigon), offers an absorbing story combined with very haunting music. To get a glimpse of what the rehearsals for this underrated musical show must have been like, and to have the composers, the producer, and other people involved comment about the production, is definitely a good reason for trying to get hold of the videotape. The only sad thing about this "making of" is that it cannot capture ALL of Martin Guerre within its 70 minutes length. Unfortunately, the complete show has never been released on video or DVD. This fact makes a look behind the scenes - as one gets it here - even more precious.
