Great for those who fetishize the holocaust but don't want to think deeply.

Rating: 3/10 (22 March 2019)

I reviewed this movie far more thoroughly back when I had a different account but I want to have one on my profile.
The basic problem with this movie for me is that it is not the movie it should me, not unlike Bird Box. It SHOULD be the story of Oskar Schindler saving some Jews but it's actually just an exhibition of the holocaust.
There's little plot and as much as I like the macabre of genocide, it gets tiring just getting death after death without much sense of plot progression.
It's smugly blunt about its deaths without giving any real reflection on why this atrocity is happening. Then there are incongruously lyrical monologues.
It's a simpering and ostentatious historical slasher that jacks itself off over genocide without any real depth or characterization, imaginative moments notwithstanding.
Also, this is in English and that's not OK. Why go to such depths to recreate a particular time and place but then ruin that illusion in such an obvious way? Doesn't the German language convey the tone so much better?
Don't get your hopes up...regarding the IMDB ratings it is, for me, the most over-rated movie.
