Thinking I was walking into yet another Holocaust film, this film was a major pleasant surprise!. This is not a holocaust film at all. This film does a lot of things right and captures beautifully the lives of two young children, their parents, and a young Jewish man they decide to harbor in Germany during the middle and end of the Nazi regime.
There's magic in this film in a big way (At least there was for me). I teared up a few times watching this. All the characters are well cast and acted. As well, the scripts are really well written and directed. The cinematography is beautifully shot and the musical score is touching.
Criticisms ???. Well, most films of these types tend to run long but in this case, I would have liked a bigger build up to the end for a bigger, dramatic effect.
But really, this is one of the best dramas I've seen this year......possibly in years actually!. :T
9/10 stars for a film I will not soon forget!. :T
ps.....Oh ya, this was watched on dvd by myself but I strongly suggest watching this in BD format as the score and cinematography are beautiful. As well, this dvd ALSO forced me to watch the trailers so BD is not the only format doing this horrible thing to us viewers. I feel sorry for the people that BUY these films because at the end of the day and for multiple viewings, you really want to get straight down to the film.:roll:
