Most helpful review Sarah's Key

  • Happy of Lancashire

    Rated - 4.5 stars  
    By a customer , 02 Dec 2011

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    This was an exceptionally good film, admittedly harrowing in parts, but nonetheless tugged at the heart strings. The dialogue was excellent and believable, and Kristen Scott Thomas gave a performance of totally convincing perfection.

  • Good start, poor finish.

    The early scenes made a considerable impact but, as the film dragged on, the script became more manufactured, with a superfluous sub-plot and clichés; such as the hunt from house to house, which was almost a montage in 1950s style (what about trying the telephone? It would save a heap of taxi fares) and the tired old journalist-hunts-down-story device. By the end we had lapsed into sentimentality. I like and admire French cinema but this is more Hollywood than French. The scriptwriter seems to have cashed in on the Holocaust to chuck out a film to earn his keep. It may pass the time but it's not a good film - too disjointed and contrived.

  • Love corrupted by evil.

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By Glenkell (4 reviews) , 31 May 2013
    I do like a good plot to a story and this has it. It is an immensely sad tale and the person at the centre of it blames herself for what happens. However, it illustrates how the best and most decent of people can feel tainted by the evil of others.

    A superb film based on true events. It will hit you with all emotions, leaving you feeling you have been on an emotional rollercoaster by the end of the film. it is beautifully acted and directed.

    An amazing story. The parallel stories are bound well and it was filmed with some lovely shots. A gem indeed.

  • Obsession for the flat

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By 663322 (37 reviews) , 15 May 2013
    This was a truly moving film. The flat becomes almost an obsession for Julia and the viewer gets caught up in the obsession. When the film finished I tried desperately to think of alternative endings.
