Audience Member A movie which purpose is nothing but politics.... quite unfortunate, considering there was potential.... I can say this regarding the political side: the fact that terms such as "Bulgarian fascism" etc are in circulation here, in reviews, without compliance with the scientific definition of the fascism, is an evidence of the propaganda purposes of the government of Republic of Macedonia, which financed the film. The Fascism is related to the whole structure of a country, not only with its foreign policy. If it were not so, I want to ask: Was Yugoslavia fascist country before the coup of March 1941. And what about USSR before June 1941? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Film with great potential, just the execution is not quite right. Although very ambitious (maybe too ambitious for the director and the leading actors) , never reaches any point of greatness. It's Holocaust themed movie , but the romance is what makes the story. Unfortunately the film fails to fulfill them both. Romance is cheesy never epic and the holocaust marginal. What bothered me the most, perhaps, is the plethora of languages spoken and the under achievements of the leading actors. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member very slow movie, unwatchable in this day and age Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A remarkable performance from the actors, bringing you to the time of the Nazi German/Fascist Bulgarian occupation. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
