  A Gem
  
  This is quite a harrowing story but very well done. It is a true story, the acting is faultless this is a real gem of a film. Highly recommend.

  Over-acted melodrama
  
  Like a stage play. Over-acted melodrama. Not awful though, just a bit corny.

  A Must Watch
  
  Beautifuuly portrayed, and good historical record. Heartwrenching at times as one would expect of a Holocaust film.
