A strong, deep film on many levels

Rating: 10/10 (25 January 2009)

This film is an inspiring one, a film which I will have my children watch as my parents had me watch Schindler's List. A poignant movie, that in my opinion is well rounded in every way. A lot of films about the holocaust are all violence, the slaughter of the Jews. This movie was so inspiring and different because it told the story of their fight to survive, and they did!
I've read and heard a lot of reviews about choppy editing/directing/and so forth, but I didn't see that at all. I felt the story flowed very well on several levels, both on historical level and the character level. Daniel Craig, Liev Shreiber, and Jamie Bell each played their character with sincerity and humanity, drawing you in to each of their stories. Jamie Bell's performance really stood out to me, a quiet but strong light.
Go see this movie without a critics outlook and I think you will find something very special in it.
