Mickey B. @Mickerdoo Jan 19 Gotta love a story about pushing for change against hopeless odds. Gleeson is a beacon of righteousness. Bruhl plays waking up well.

See more isla s @RT89656869 09/03/2022 At first I thought this film was a little slow and thin on the ground, plot wise but when it became clear what the parents were doing, it has more substance to it and I quite liked the idea behind it. The dialogue is a bit muffled/quiet at times, which may cause issues but its certainly somewhat thoughtful. There's no doubt that to do what the parents did, would require a fair amount of determination and I thought the main performances from Brendan Gleeson and Emma Thompson were quite convincing. It features some good cinematography and I found it interesting how the authorities tried to track down the messages the parents were spreading. Once or twice I thought the music played in the background was perhaps a little over the top, a bit too much, slightly too loud maybe but I admit I can be a bit picky. Thematically speaking, this film reminded me a bit of The Book Thief. Not a bad film, this isn't an entirely memorable one and so it's not one I'd want to re-watch but its a pretty interesting film in terms of the themes and with a good cast, I would recommend it, yes.

It is so interesting to look back on Nazi Germany and try to understand how millions of people could believe and follow evil at all costs. This film highlights when people try in their own small way to stand up for good even though the price is the highest cost. The moral of the story is even the smallest good deed has a ripple effect that can't be stopped. The acting and costumes are spot on. See more Read all reviews
