Most helpful review Fateless

  • Good film

    Rated - 3.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Whether or not you enjoy this film will possibly depend on how much the subject matter appeals to you. It's pretty much just a dark tale of a young man's survival in various situations through the holocaust and beyond, which in itself is nothing new, but this (despite being in Hungarian) has at least been put togther thoughtfully. If nothing else it sets the scene without being gratuitously graphic, and is well worth a look.

  • hidden gem, must see movie

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By a customer , 09 Feb 2012
    Though this film was just as good if not better than any movie I seen on this subject, including schinders list. The young actor playing the lead was simply breath taking and utterly convincing in his protrayal of the character. The way the film is shot and the still shots are a tribute to the subject matter. Please don't be put off by the fact the film is in substitles, if this subject or films like it are interest to you this film is a must see. It will still in your mind days afterwards

  • Well worth watching.

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    I was very moved by this film. Brilliant acting from the young male lead.

    It was beautifully filmed and yet captured the misery and reality of the concentration camps.

    I would recommend this film - well worth watching.

  • Very well made

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    I enjoyed this film, if you can call it that. It is well made and very absorbing. It is quite graphic in some scenes and appears to be very realistic when it comes to concentration camp life, but does even manage an uplifting end.

  • Fateless - harrowing but wonderful

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By a customer from Dukinfield , 04 Jan 2011
    This film brings to life what it must have been like for Jews in Europe during the 2nd World War. The film centres around a 14 year old boy, sent to a concentration camp and his struggles to survive. You will experience a real empathy with him.

  • Slow and uninspired.

    Rated - 2.0 stars  
    By a customer from OXON , 29 Jun 2010
    Like so many films of this genre, there is too much emphasis on tugging the heart strings. As a film, I found it too slow with very little charactor development. There are better films out there but if you're interested in the period from a Hungarian pioint of view, it's worth a look.
