| User ReviewPrivate Usuch an amazing little actor- everything about this movie was impressive. a must see for any history buff |
| User ReviewRyan DOne of the best films ever dealing with the holocaust. Maybe better than Schindler's List |
| User ReviewAliya DI watched this last night and it is still staying with me. Very powerful and engaging. The story was incredible, the acting was amazing, and the directing superb. |
| User ReviewRoss MWatched this as extra credit for Political Science. Such a beautiful portrayal of this horrific event in history; the comparison of Alex's life and the story of Robinson Crusoe is done extraordinarily well. Jordan Kiziuk (Alex) makes the movie, what a wonderful young actor. During the film I never saw these as actors portraying a story, it was so real and so engaging. It had amazing cinematography and lighting. Best foreign film I think I've ever seen. |
| User ReviewCynthia SWonderful movie about family promises, survival and trust. It was hard to believe it was based on a true story considering what this young child had to do to survive during such a terrible time as WWII....If you like anything about the war, you will like this one |
| User ReviewWiebke KIt is a story we have seen, read before: individual surviving the holocaust -- but this one tells the story of an 11-year-old. And as I have an 11-year-old boy, I was even more impressed with this one's resourcefulness and insistence that his father returns to save him. Worth watching |
| User ReviewKozie BThis was a very watchable movie made from a children's book which won the author a prestigious award. It is "semi-biographical", which means not really what happened -- and it is rather unbelievable....but who knows? There are many true and miraculous stories of survival. This was a movie well-made about the persecution of the Jews by the Nazis; a story that makes you hope it happened - that some survived and were reunited with their families. |
| User ReviewFrances HTouching film about the human instinct for survival and the power of hope and love. A wonderful acting tour de force for young Jordan Kiziuk, and what makes this story even better is that it's based on a true story. |
| User Reviewduncan gA forgotten holocasut film which i really liked, and which iam quite sure the Pianist as much as i love took things from. |
| User ReviewTrinity CThis film was shown on TV one Saturday afternoon. I had no intention of watching it but after catching the first ten minutes I decided I'd give it a go - and I'm glad I did. It's based, in part, on the author's real-life experiences and, as such, is all the more amazing to watch. It's extremely moving in places but not over-sentimental. The performances - including the lead child actor - are all pretty solid. And the tension is built up very well when called for. A good Saturday afternoon movie. |
