Passable story that cannot avoid an icky feel for adult viewers

Rating: 6/10 (25 February 2019)

An undeniably haunting historical drama set in World War II. Although aimed at younger audiences it will offend some who think it creates a false equivalence between victims and perpetrators. Some may also think it should have avoided glossy melodrama for a tragedy about a Nazi family.
In terms of the performances, having the cast all speak in prim and proper English and modern dialect was distracting and unconvincing.
As a family film dealing with the Holocaust it doesn't fail to be arresting and the third act finale is powerful.
