This is the true story of Freddy and Walter -- two young Slovak Jews, who were deported to Auschwitz in 1942. On 10 April 1944, after meticulous planning and with the help and the resilience of their inmates, they manage to escape. While the inmates, they had left behind, courageously stand their ground against the Nazi officers, the two men are driven on by the hope that their evidence could save lives. Emaciated and hurt, they make their way through the mountains back to Slovakia. With the help of chance encounters, they finally manage to cross the border and meet the resistance and The Red Cross. They compile a detailed report about the systematic genocide at the camp. However, with Nazi propaganda and international liaisons still in place, their account seems to be too harrowing to believe.

I think this film is fantastic and one of the few films that I have watched that do not come in English so I relied on subtitles. The lead characters deliver great performances that drove the film's suspense and storyline. What I like about the film is the ending audios speeches of modern politicians which add a sense of importance to the film and makes you think that what happened years ago could happen again.

This war movie was really good. Noel Czuczor, Peter Ondrejicka, John Hannah, and the rest of the cast did a fantastic job in this movie. This true story about two prisoners who escaped the Auschwitz concentration camp to report the atrocities and deaths of people at that camp was dramatic, intense, and tragic. It's about doing what's right to make sure that people are held accountable for their actions and to protect innocent people from getting murdered. If you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out sometime. It's a definite must see.

One of the best films of 2021, that was worthy of winning an Oscar. Unfortunately it didn't even get on the shortlist.

O filme é bom, porém perdeu a oportunidade de ser melhor desenvolvido. Vários pontos ficaram em aberto, dando a sensação de que o diretor não se importava muito com o espectador.

Speaking about Holocaust is always tricky. Not being jewish (but a descendant of a resistant in France you've been caught and visited camps), I guess my remark is important. Seeing this film is absolutely killing the amazing story of Rudolf Vrba. He wrote a book where you will see a real hero. Entering into resistance at 17y.o., arriving in Auschwitz at the same age, surviving almost 2 years in this horror and being able to escape... This movie is a resume of one small part of the book, which has been modified inadequately, with wrong people, mistakes, and lies... We do not fell the hero, the mission, and the problems of war. Please do not see this movie and read the book "I escaped from auschwitz". If you want to understand Holocaust, continue with Shlomo Venezia "Sonderkommando", and finish with Filip Mueller "3 years in Auschwitz Sonderkommando" to read, see, and understand why we must not forget and forgive. Being non jewish, I guess that it is everybody's task to remember. I read critics mentioning that the movie was inadequate. I totally confirm and hope you will find the time, on pdf or on real paper, to read the book.

In a way, this is a side of the Holocaust we rarely see on screen: the reluctance of Western bureaucracy to accept a truth that they can barely comprehend.

The film is a powerful reminder never to underestimate the historical evils that have been, and could again be, unleashed.

Keith & the Movies

You can’t help but wonder about some of the details that are left behind as the narrative progresses. But at the same time, the film keeps you glued to its story – one that highlights the very best of human nature and the absolute worst.

Rated: 4/5
