Words seem useless

Rating: 10/10 (3 December 2015)

When you rate a movie with 10/10, it's usually really really difficult to find the words to describe it. This one was one of the most impactful movies I have ever seen. Can't stop thinking it since yesterday and I am sure I won't stop thinking it for a long time.
First of all, the actors were all brilliant. All of them. The story was breathtaking and the slow evolution of the movie leading to the climax in the end, renders you speechless and motionless to say the least.
I have to admit that although I assumed such an ending, I did not think it was plausible as the movie leaves out the element of time and kind of confused me. I could not make out the exact age of the lady who sings during the stages of the movie, so I was kind of like doing the math over and over again in the end to make sure I was not mistaken!
Overall, a terrible story in its core, but one that shows how life can be in its extremes and how people can rise above such horrible events like war and its crimes and show the kind of attitude this woman showed through her letters. This is a movie that no one should miss!
