When Arnon Goldfinger's grandmother dies in Tel Aviv, his whole family comes for the necessary disposition of her property. While dealing with all the stuff, Arnon makes a shocking discovery: evidence that his German Jewish grandparents had a long-lasting friendship with senior Nazi SS officer Leopold von Mildenstein before and after World War II. His repulsion and confusion at how his beloved grandparents could have done that sends Arnon on an international search for the truth. In doing so, Arnon learns about a complex relationship in which family, sentiment, history, and human nature combine to produce a kind of denial in reaction to the worst of reality.
Leave your thoughts about The Flat.
| San Francisco ChronicleLeba HertzThe movie feels more like a thriller and a mystery than a documentary. Perhaps someday, someone will be inspired to dramatize this astonishing story. |
| ArtforumAmy TaubinOne of the most surprising, engaging, and psychologically complex documentaries of recent years. |
| NewsdayJohn AndersonA fascinating and sensitive examination of Jewish-Nazi collaboration, generational amnesia and the delicate construction of the thing we call history. |
| Film-Forward.comNora Lee MandelWho lied or who hid the truth?. . .The more and more public facts and private revelations Goldfinger uncovers are tantalizingly confounding and irresistibly fascinating. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIs something being hidden? No. It's more that something doesn't want to be known. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumI will salute the deftness and intelligence with which Goldfinger observes the reactions of the living to the revelations of the dead. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenAn intriguing documentary about a man who discovers some huge surprises with major implications when he starts digging through the stuff left behind in his grandparent's apartment in Tel Aviv after his grandmother's death. |
| KC ActiveDan Lybarger'The Flat' has a strange staying power that the objects in the apartment didn't. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisThere's something touching about the way Goldfinger obeys his moral compass. He doesn't seem at all happy with that luxury. It's a burden by a more extravagant name. |
| Movie HabitMarty MapesGrandma's closet contains a story only the third generation can hear |
