An Oscar for Oldman

Rating: 9/10 (24 December 2017)

Magnificent is the word that comes to mind. It has been many years since a movie moved me like this one. Totally unexpected, I found myself weeping several times, and I don't cry at movies. What was amazing to me was, that of all the many war movies I have seen, this one created an emotional reaction without a single gun being fired. Oldman and the rest of the supporting cast are absolutely superb in conveying what it must have felt like having Hitler closing in and facing the reality of Nazi tyranny. I look forward to watching the Oscars next year, simply to see if Oldman gets it.
