About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a WWII drama driven by a single, suspenseful conversation and ethical dilemmas rather than constant action; Not for you if you dislike talky, play-like stories or slow pacing, like in Joyeux Noel.
Pros: tense moral standoff; gripping dialogue; strong performances | Cons: stage-like feel; slow stretches; debated historical accuracy
