Skip this, watch 2001's The Grey Zone instead.

Rating: 3/10 (31 March 2018)

Barely a plot, barely any dialogue, claustrophobia inducing hand held camera closeups through most of the film; clearly the director is doing this intentionally, but it just doesn't work. The moral plight of the Sonderkommandos (concentration camp inmates forced to do the Holocaust's dirtiest work) was covered much better in The Grey Zone. This film lacked for me the tension, and even the horror, by trying too hard to be intimate. I confess I didn't even make it to the end.
