True story

I had to write something because I was stunned at the low rating here on IMDB. The movie was for me waaaay better than current 5,4 stars (August 2024).

As fiction it would have not worked, but as it is a true story it hits differently. There are connections made to real life people and events. It's amazing what people have had to survive. And how little it takes to either continue or end generations. This is not a movie about atrocities of the Holocaust, altough they obviously are a the root of all that happens. I liked this one person survival perspective and this type of story that's rare in this context.

The boy lead does a wonderful job, as does his buddy in the film. There are some quite cliche types here and there, but then again I'm sure that's how they were, and I'll have to take in the film makers' vision.

I'm happy that I got to experience this story. Thank you. I will now research if I can find the documentary referenced at the end.

The Woods Look Nice....That's About It.

Where do I start? There are so many criticisms of this movie that I'm only going to mention the most obvious. The most glaring is the 'shaky camera syndrome' which will induce an epileptic reaction in the more sensitive viewers, but appears to be popular among the less gifted directors these days. Second on the list is the horrendous acting. Hard to take anything they say or do seriously. Next is the wardrobe. It appears they went to the local second hand bin to retrieve the costumes. Perhaps it was due to the budget; which apparently was bare minimal. Lastly; these type of films seem to be churned out ad nauseam these days, and frankly, are getting so predictable and tiresome.
