A Stunning Film.

Rating: 10/10 (27 October 2012)

The cinematography is just stunning in this film. Subtle, yet gets the point across. The violence/disturbing scenes of the film were executed nicely so the film could remain at its iffy rating of PG13. Every scene and line was delivered seamlessly. First encountering him in Hugo (2011), I am quite partial to the young actor; Asa Butterfield does not disappoint as the role of young Bruno. The film's camera work was truly breathtaking.
Though starting rather slow, the plot picks up rather quickly after the first fifteen minutes. A lovely film altogether minus the historical inaccuracies and the fact that the film makes Bruno appear as the victim by emphasizing his innocence and nativity instead of the countless Jews who were slaughtered and deprived during the Holocaust. With its unexpected and heartbreaking ending, this film will remain with a viewer long after.
