★ 6.5(21)unSUB Rating
Konrad Wolf looked back at his personal journals for this tremendous film, an impressive reckoning with the pitiful ends of war. With subtlety, empathy, and starkest realism, I Was Nineteen illuminates how a homeland now synonymous with “Goethe and Auschwitz” hangs heavy over the heads of the young.
