This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

On of the most interesting aspect from the War of the buttons is the resemblance in the movie between the battles of children and adults. In fact, this film achieves the audience feels many kind of emotions like laugh, fear, uncertainty and others. These factors help to catch the audience during the 100 minutes of the film.However, the war of the Irish kids also makes a sort of criticize about the human conflicts. It is showing how often the real war nearby to be a childlike trouble is, in relation with some superfluous reasons of adult people. So, the audience could reflect about the human condition and have a great time with this wonderful film.

I think that the movie is pretty good, because this entertains and too tells a short story that it is very impressive and strange if you don't put attention and for this reason mahy people don't understand the movie. My opinion about the movie don't only it is limited to the excellent argument but also what I understood about this. The movie show us like two group of children have a war and when a band lose a battles ( not the war), someone of the warriors lose his buttons. I wanna speak about the conviction that all boys put in the battles and the group's work. I believe that this conviction is the necessary for to make many things and these boy demonstrate us when they made their general quarter.In this movie we can also see the personal interest of some people like the child that he is fired of the group because he was sluggish and he wanted the buttons single for his, and like he destroyed the general quarter for his expulsion. Thus, I think that many people react when they are threatened although they don't nothing for nobody.In conclusion I like the movie I recommend and my vote is ten points.

The actors were brilliant and the way they delivered their lines was amazing. A beautiful story with vibrant characters and hidden points,lines delivered and moments in the film that just makes it what it is.Can be sad and heart-wrenching at times but hilarious at others. In this film you will go through hatred, love, laughter, sadness, happiness and lots of other emotions! Afterwards the film you have a real knowledge of how things actually are in Ireland (I'm northern Irish, I just moved to Belgium 4 years ago because of dads job...I'm 14)The truth that it tells is so tragic but true that it really affects you. The young actors and actresses are VERY well chosen for each part and shine through.They put it to you so simply and so 'right to the heart of it getting at the problem that adults can't explain better' way. It is a Definite see with wonderful settings and moving themes and moments.

Wonderful, interesting story of a growing rivalry between young boys in two neighboring Irish small towns. This film is supposed to be based on the book, "La Guerre Des Boutons" by Louis Pergaud. The story, casting, acting and locations were perfect. One strong suit is the beautiful scenery filmed on location in Ireland. I really like this film. It seems few people who reviewed it actually watched it as none of the reviews I read even matched the film's content. I would have liked to have seen the one big battle scene played down as it seemed a bit over the top but other than that this was a pure joy to watch.
