Bogdan M In "I Do Not Care If We Go Down in History as Barbarians," the story is undeniably compelling. However, I found myself struggling to connect with it on a deeper level. While the narrative is intriguing, I didn't feel as emotionally invested as I had hoped. Overall, while the story is thought-provoking, the experience left me wanting more in terms of personal engagement. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/01/24 Full Review Michael E Outstanding. Brilliantly directed and acted. Its theme is the prevalence of historical amnesia in societies that want to forget their brutalization and extermination of racial and ethnic minorities. That's what makes this Romanian production relevant for Americans, so many of whom prefer not to think about how slavery and genocide were instrumental, indeed essential, in building our country. It does help to have a knowledge of Holocaust history, and even more so if you already know about Romania's role in that event, which I do. And you have to have the patience to listen to the thought-provoking dialogues in the film. So if you can find that hard-to-get DVD, by all means do so. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/07/20 Full Review Audience Member One of the worst films I've seen. Awful acting, pretentious and senseless dialogues. Long useless shots of penis and hanged people. Why? Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Я никак не мог пропустить кино о Холокосте в Одессе, который забрал моих прадедушек и прабабушек. Но это кино не переносится ни в Одессу, и не в то время. Это наше время и это место где евреев почти не осталось. И несмотря на это, оно расскрывает Холокост так, как я никогда не видел. Потому что это не трагедия прошлого. Я такого кино про Холокост раньше никогда не видел. Я такого кино просто никогда не видел. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Timely and darkly humorous, the film challenges us to recognize the reverberations of the past in the present. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member I strongly recommend this powerful, exquisitely written and acted film on the difficulty in facing our savage, murderous sides. Ironic and beautifully conveyed message without being overly didactic. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
