Audience Member This film is indeed a "must see" for those interested in WWII. This is a deep as it gets, but the "So fresh:" above trivializes the meaning of it. Would Rotten Tomatoes characterize films on Bergen-Belson or Auschwitz as "So fresh: Absolute Must See!"? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
