Most helpful review Schindler's List

  • Undoubted Masterpiece.

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By a customer from Scotland , 14 Apr 2004

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Saving Private Ryan and E.T were probably the best films of their genre, but you can't measure the impact of this film against those, and to attempt to compare it to A.I. and Catch Me If You Can is simply just crass (sorry!). This film portrays the heart rendering suffering the Jewish populous of Europe had to suffer at the hands of the Nazis. It shows how they were tortured, maimed, abused and exterminated and leaves us wondering about the futility of it all. We can only be left trying to understand the fear and suffering that must have been felt during that time. Although these horrors can never be recaptured for real on film, this film is the next best thing to us as individuals trying somehow to vainly grasp what must have been felt. Think about it!

  • Must watch!

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By a customer , 14 May 2013
    I had vaguely heard of this movie in the past but did not know exactly what it was about. Even less that it was a true story. This is a must watch movie. It is a great insight in the lives of the Jews of Poland during World War II. It also shows to what extent people went to save Jews during the Holocaust. To be honest I don't understand the little girl in red, but nevertheless a great movie that should be watched by all. Don't be put off by the fact that it is in black and white. And remember it was directed by Steven Spielberg. What else need I say: watch!

  • Too Long

    Rated - 3.5 stars  
    By Storymaker (15 reviews) , 12 May 2013
    Ok so this film IS powerful and quite beautiful in someways, but i felt that the story could have been told in a much shorter length of time. Emotionally it was difficult to watch and gave an insight into Nazi regime, it is deep and heartbreaking just a little too long for my liking.

  • Worst , Boring and Time waster film made!

    Rated - 1.0 star  
    By a customer , 17 Feb 2013
    I remember watching this when it came out and I think out of all the films steven speilberg has made it is the worst one. I paid about £2-3 but think the film is so boring I walked out.

  • A Masterpiece

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By GaryI (785 reviews) from March, Cambs , 08 Feb 2013
    Film Retrospective: Schindler's List is one of the most emotionally tough films to watch. Everytime it brings a tear to my eye. Yes it has some really distressing scenes but it's also a masterwork of drama. One of Speilberg's finest films and one verybody should see.
