Fredrik Another attempt by American jews ✡️ to smear and lie about history 🐍 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review mary m This is a great documentary. Super spare and clean. There is nothing between us and Ms. Junge - no music, no historical footage, no distraction. I found the footage when she is watching her own interviews, and reacting to herself telling her stories, most fascinating. The life long struggle she had between her youthful naivety and adult realizations are there to be seen. It's all in her face and voice, her restless fingers. It was incredibly brave of her to expose herself and make this documentary. I hope her soul is at peace. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review spencer p With the run time almost entirely comprising a single interview, this powerful first-person account of working with Hitler requires a load of patience in order to pay off (and pretty consistently fast subtitle reading). Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member incredible doc just riveting Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Or The One Where Hitler's Secretary... Wait, Does The Cast List On Flixster Include James Franco... That Has To Be A Mistake, Right? For a film with absolutely nothing else except for text, subtitles, and an interview, Blind Spot is quite engaging. It's probably due to the fascinating subject material, and the ability of Traudl Junge to tell her story. Throughout the film you get the sense that Junge is struggling to tell her story in a way that doesn't victimize her, but also doesn't villify her. But she need not worry, because directors Andre Heller and Othmar Schmiderer do a fantastic job of revealing the facts of the story in a fashion that characterizes Junge as a woman who got in over her head. It's a strange thing to watch a movie where Hitler isn't simply treated as a demon. In fact, Junge almost seemed to hold a form of admiration for him. Obviously she saw him as a monster, but at the same time, she knew the man as well. And at some point in her life, I think she enjoyed the friendship of this man. Thankfully, Junge's story is fascinating enough to keep us interested in what is otherwise a rather dull film. I appreciate the idea of a minimalist approach here, but I think some visuals added to the interview might have helped. Sure, there didn't need to be a lot of context to set it up, but something might have helped. I often found myself slipping in and out of focus, but overall Junge's story will pull you back in even when the filmmakers can't. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting idea but I would have enjoyed archival footage along with her interview.
