Blown away

Rating: 8/10 (6 May 2020)

This film and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas fit into their own subcategory. But unlike Striped Pajamas, I thought that this better captured the struggle of war from the viewpoint of the Germans who were unwittingly caught in the (figurative) trenches. This film made me laugh, several times, it's hilarity both subtle and in-your-face. But in many ways, this film is also sadder than Striped Pajamas, no bars held, get your tissues ready. I don't think I can say anything that hasn't already been said, other than how brilliant I think this story is and how it'll stick with me for years to come.
