Worthy of its Golden Globe win for Best Foreign Language Film

Rating: 8/10 (22 February 2016)

Such a moving film worthy of its Golden Globe win for Best Foreign Language Film. "Son of Saul" was incredibly captivating even with the language barrier. Usually I don't love films with subtitles because it can distract from the performances, but the cast was so incredible, the subtitles didn't take away any aspect of the film. Géza Röhrig did an wonderful job as the lead character Saul. Set in a concentration camp, "Son of Saul" brought to light important events that happened in our world's history. Director László Nemes took such a terrible, sad subject and made the film intriguing to its audience. I'm excited to see if this film will take yet another award at the Academy Awards.
