About
You may like this if you want a quiet, serious Holocaust drama focused on one young person’s experience and mood over action; Not for you if you want a fast-moving, easy-to-follow story or something like Schindler's List.
Pros: powerful subject matter; moving lead performance; atmospheric visuals | Cons: slow pace; uneven emotion; can feel detached
