- TriviaOne of 2008's biggest hits in its native Netherlands, where it outgrossed Twilight (2008) and The Dark Knight (2008).
- GoofsWhen Jack and Erica are walking over the bridge near the end of the film, they are actually walking to the wrong side of the river. The wooden pylons in the water are on the side of the Veluwe, the woods in which Jack's plane crashed. Jack wanted to go to Zwolle, which is on the side Michiel is watching Jack and his sister cross the bridge. This is due to the fact that another bridge for a highway had been built next to it, which would have ended up in the movie had they filmed the right way around.

Featured review
Good story; excellent performances.
It's important to know 'Winter in Wartime' is not an action war movie. This is a drama set during the Second World War. The film revolves around a young boy, Michiel, who decides to help a soldier, Jack, who finds himself beyond enemy lines after his plane was shot down.
Michiel is a nosy youngster, and his notion to help the soldier might be attributed to this characteristic. It is disconcerting to see such a young boy lie with ease. It was also interesting seeing him become increasingly more possessive over Jack - especially once Michiel's sister, Erica, becomes involved. Erica is a nurse, who sees to Jack's wounds.
The film deals with so many different emotions, and the performances from the entire cast is really good. This is not your typical war movie, and might disappoint action buffs for lack of action, but it certainly delivers on an emotional and moral level. Martijn Lakemeier is excellent as Michiel, who carries the film.
