I didn't realize that there were so many anti-Jewish people on IMDb who could not get passed the fact that the victim was Jewish. I would feel badly toward any type of victim out there, Arab, Jewish, Black, Asian, or even White.

I agree with the person who wrote that people were judging the film on its merit without even watching it. I thought that it was very well acted. It managed to be suspenseful even to people who knew the outcome of the events, which is a difficult feat.

If you have a chance see this film which will give you a slice of history.

I recently viewed this movie on Netflix and was struck by the impression that a movie with a similar plot and circumstances would probably not be produced in the US or the UK. Kudos to the makers of this film who had the courage to tell a true story that most people probably were never aware of and where the characters involved do not fit a preferred template. Most foreign-made movies I've seen on Netflix often are superior to American films in both content and acting, primarily because they are devoid of Hollywood scripting/acting where characters mechanically spew their lines with no reflection of authentic human character or realism.

Notwithstanding if this (or something like this actually happened) it falls flat as for one there seems to be no cliché left out, and then in the end it's a 'message' movie - and message movies don't work. Both, the good and the bad parties in this film are very one-dimensionally portrayed - the film leaves on empty on an emotional and also intellectual level. It could have been a much better film.

Silly me. I thought these reviews were supposed to be about a movie, not a means to dispense convoluted political and racist ideology.

This film was so good that I almost felt like applauding at the conclusion. But considering the subject matter, that would have been rather inappropriate.

The film was taut and suspenseful, even tho you pretty much suspected how it would end. The performances were all on point. Even the subtitling was well done.

Yes, the subject was depressing. But it was a real life story. We can't alter the facts. But you can certainly appreciate the quality, and the message.

I have seen Schindler's List twice but will probably never watch it again. Saw The Birds Alfred Hitchcock and it creeped me out and will never watch it again. I have seen every kind of movie imaginable, thousands of them.

But this is one of the most intense movies I have ever seen. It seemed like I could feel what every character except the bad guys was feeling. By the last 20 minutes or so I almost cried. But I was in too much shock to even cry. Is there any other way to say it, this movie got to me.

Then to top it all off it ended at my bedtime. Don't think I will be able to sleep.

A gripping story, so realistic you feel like you are a part of it. The acting is just incredible. Been watching French movies for a good while and I like them better than what comes out of Hollywood. At least in this century.

You should try and make it through this entire movie because it tells such an important story. Anyone who may deny that Anti-Semitism exists anymore should watch it. Or anyone who knows it still exists.

Yes we may watch movies to escape reality but every once in a while we need to watch a real movie about real people to get a dose of true reality, to shake us out of our comfort zone. We need to pull our heads out of the sand and our fantasy world and experience some realism. It is cathartic for the soul.
