I saw it coming

Rating: 7/10 (18 October 2014)

This movie has a very nice,subtle plot. This kind of movies where a child is the lead actor is very tricky to do and I felt the director succeeded to pull this movie off but not up to its full potential. The innocent simplistic mind of a child was not given much importance. The movie could have been one notch higher if we had been put in the mind of the child, because it took me some time to get how would a child think under these conditions. I felt there were many loopholes in the plot. but anyway we are not supposed to look over these because the main thing in the movie is the innocence of a child and how the realization of the loss of child for a German soldier and devastating experience that the jews felt in those camps. The screenplay was very good in some parts and mediocre in the rest. It felt a little odd that the child does not ask his mother all this questions, I felt the tutor part a tad bit of a drag, I understood this was a crucial point of the film but was it that powerful so as to change the behavior of her sister ? The movie did not felt smooth if I had to clear. Well except all this facts the conversation between the two boys is really nice. This was the best part of the movie especially the Jew boy did an awesome job. That could emote his tension in the camp with the innocence of a child. Even his expressions were so subtle. This Jew boy was damn perfect throughout the movie. Well i may have rated it somewhat low, but believe me go watch this movie to experience the Nazi camps and its effect in poor souls.
