It achieves a worthy chronicle, something that does not bother me from beginning to end, it causes me certain uneasiness and tenderness at some points. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

@mawilps 03/07/2022 This foreign movie was really good. Mario Casas, Alain Hernandez, Richard van Weyden, and the rest of the cast did a great job in this movie. This true story about a photographer who planned to steal photo negatives to prove to the world of the atrocities the Nazis caused was dramatic, thrilling, and intense. It's about having the courage to do something risky, but for the right reasons. If you're a Netflix member, you should watch this movie sometime. It's worth it. See more 01/27/2022 If you take away a couple of scenes near the end the movie it isn't worth much. People that actually lived there though not one of the worst camps they made cause it was a labour camp not a kill camp they were still tortured and killed and starved them. Mental and psychical pain must have been unbearable and the missed that part completely. One scene can't make up for the whole movie. It doesn't reflect the truth people lived and they turned it into a light version of reality See more 05/06/2021 This movie is shocking, actors generate a lot of credibility for that reason the viewer can feel the despair, pain and sadness expressed by the characters. The scenes are perfectly set in such a way that you transport yourself to the concentration camps. See more 02/24/2021 "The Photographer Of Mauthausen" is an absolutely amazing film showcasing the horrors suffered by political prisoners in the concentration camps of WWII. A piece of Spanish history so easily overshadowed by other events that occurred throughout the war; here we get a fairly accurate portrayal of the life of Francisco Boix who is brilliantly portrayed by Mario Casas, his time at the Mauthausen Concentration Camp and the vital role he played in bringing photographic evidence that led to the conviction of several prominent Nazi party leaders. With only her second feature-length film at the helm, Mar Targarona's brilliance is on full display as she comes off as a seasoned director. I look forward to seeing more of her work over the coming years. The cinematography in this film is absolutely incredible, the performances from everyone involved were remarkable. For any history buff, any lover of film, this is an absolute must-see. See more 11/25/2020 Demonstrates how the decision to declare groups of people as subhuman is always arbitrary (Nazi-to-prisoner and prisoner-to-prisoner alike). A solid production, and even better that the protagonist was a real person. See more nilufer e @Nilicim 10/09/2020 That era and cruelty fascinates me in the most horrible way. The movie was from a different perspective and it was very effective. Events are incredible so was the story telling. See more Read all reviews
