      Limited Series – The Tattooist of Auschwitz

      2024 History Drama War TRAILER for The Tattooist of Auschwitz: Limited Series Trailer List
      77% 30 Reviews Tomatometer 82% Fewer than 50 Ratings Audience Score In 2003 Melbourne, Jewish Holocaust survivor Lali Sokolov shares his story of love and resilience, told through fractured and traumatic memories, with novice writer Heather Morris. It starts in 1942, when he volunteers for "work duty" to aid the Slovakian war effort but finds himself sent to the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp. Those not murdered immediately are forced to build the emerging Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp. The smell of death hangs in the air as Lali realizes he's condemned to work in a kill factory. When he's offered a job tattooing numbers onto prisoner's arms, he takes it in the hope of surviving. But unexpected meaning is given to this hell when he meets a beautiful Slovakian woman -- prisoner 4562. For Lali it's love at first sight, and before long "Gita," as he will come to know her, drives his will to survive. Through perseverance and manipulation of an SS guard, Baretzki, Lali finds Gita again, but the risks he takes to keep them both alive may backfire. Read More Read Less

      Critics Consensus

      A dramatization of atrocity and the fickleness of memory that can be difficult to watch, The Tattooist of Auschwitz is dramatically uneven but undeniably affecting.

      Carol Midgley Times (UK) It is probably easy to pick holes in this adaptation but it is still a compelling piece of storytelling. Rated: 4/5 May 7, 2024 Full Review Nick Hilton Independent (UK) The Tattooist of Auschwitz is a strangely self-hating work. In attempting to disavow its airport-novel, schlocky origins, it inadvertently creates a new tension. Rated: 2/5 May 3, 2024 Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times It's an honorable project, honorably made, moving at times, horrifying at others, in broad strokes and small details. May 3, 2024 Full Review Jim Schembri jimschembri.com A compelling six-part Holocaust drama...Easily one of the best shows we’ve seen in the stream in years... the story blends a host of conflicting themes – guilt, regret, love, hatred, loss, violence – into a romantic tragedy that reaches a state of grace. Rated: 4/5 May 10, 2024 Full Review Anthony Morris ScreenHub When Lali says that this is a love story, he’s not wrong, and there are some touching and powerful scenes here. But it’s the evil that surrounds the lovers, and Lali’s struggles with his memories late in life, that are the strengths of this series. Rated: 3.5/5 May 7, 2024 Full Review Matt Roush TV Insider The Tattooist of Auschwitz, for all of its horror, would beg to differ as it offers the overarching message that “Love Will Survive”...

      David B I am into the 4th episode, and yes its hard watching but I can't feel that it does realy show the true horror that went on here,its good but I don't get that stunned horror that I should feel in my mind as what it realy like been there,I can imagine beyond my mind can go,its good but could be better Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/07/24 Full Review Stephen M MUST WATCH. Such a sad but beautiful story. Everyone should be made to watch this. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/07/24 Full Review angelique d Gripping from the start to the finish . Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/06/24 Full Review AJ L It grabbed my soul from the first episode and didn't stop squeezing. Acting was top shelf. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/05/24 Full Review Sara B The topic is painful, but important. Jonah Hauer-King is exceptional. The narrative devices that they use can be really effective, but also at times it does problems with understanding the events. As it went on, you begin to see more and more of how they go back between the past recollections and the present day. It is a very difficult watch, but it is useful to know that many of the characters Will make it out “all right “but that doesn’t lessen the impact of the story. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/05/24 Full Review B C I loved this show. Loved it. Young Lali and Gita are wonderful. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/04/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
