Viewers are deeply moved by 'Promise at Dawn', particularly praising the intense and complex portrayal of the mother-son relationship. The performances of Pierre Niney and Charlotte Gainsbourg are consistently highlighted as powerful and compelling. While the film captures the emotional depth and dramatic arcs effectively, some viewers felt the pacing was slow and the narrative occasionally dragged. The adaptation from the book also left some desiring more depth and fidelity to the original text.
