      Serge L Three survivors of Auswitz death camp finally find each other and meet at a beach town in France. Knowing the horrors of wwII, at many times in the beginning, which was supposedly shortly after the war, the acting was less than cheery. Maybe it was supposed to be lame after the war, with so may death. But usually, it is played like great joy. This is based on a true story of survivors that we get to hear in dvd extras. There we see out trio very smart, very passionate in their recollection, which contrast a little with the daily routine rendering of the film. The film was like a somewhat good time with friends lazying at the beach, but in the extras, I was edge of my seat each time they were describing their camp stories. All counted, nice film good for tv. The extras would have been so extraordinary if there was more of the war stories but even the little bits were fascinating.

      Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times More resonant in theory than in execution, the post-Holocaust drama "To Life" never truly embraces the promise of its title or the roiling emotion beneath its surface. May 26, 2016 Full Review Helen T. Verongos New York Times There is a delicate beauty to this movie and its visual composition. May 26, 2016 Full Review Boyd van Hoeij Hollywood Reporter All this prosperity and abundance would only make sense if it stood in clearer contrast to the women's struggles to come to terms with their dark past. May 23, 2016 Full Review Matt Bobkin National Post la vie is a gripping study on the resilience of the human spirit, and a testament to the power of community. Rated: 3/4 May 20, 2016 Full Review Susan G. Cole NOW Toronto La Vie (meaning "to life," or "l'chaim" in Hebrew) carries a strong emotional charge.
