Atom User Reviews
Such a wonderful movie! Bring tissue because it’s sad, but oh so beautiful.
One of the best movies I've ever seen. It's a movie that our youth need now. There is no religion in this. Just moral teaching and essential history.
Metacritic
With elegant acting from its two young leads and picturesque cinematography from Matthias Koenigswieser, it serves as a competently executed morality play for audiences craving a bit of unambiguous humanism.
One could argue that Forster and company calibrate their anodyne effects to make a Holocaust narrative that’s palatable for younger viewers. But what mostly resonates is a particularly lachrymose brand of show-business hedging.
It’s a little by-the-book — exactly, perhaps, what you might expect from elevated historical fiction aimed at young adults. Being a good-hearted, straightforward film that might even have you shedding a few tears is no crime against cinema.
