By the end I was an emotional wreck

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2019)

I'm going to have to try very hard not to give too much away here, for reasons that will be clear to anyone who has already watched and loved this film, a wonderful and extremely timely satire on a dark, dark time in human history.
Inevitably events took an ever more sinister turn as the story progressed, until the battle scene towards the end which, knowing how closely it echoed the real historical event, brought a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye.
And then... quite possibly the most emotionally gut-wrenching final minute of a film that I've ever witnessed. The moment, and the song, for so many multi-layered reasons that echo through the decades, just broke me - and I say that as someone who hardly ever sheds a tear over books, TV shows or films.
Please watch this film. You'll be the better for it, and maybe the world will be a little bit better too.
