Unbelievable, untenable, unlovable...

Rating: 1/10 (24 February 2020)

...and probably more of an insult to the intelligence of >1,100,000 Jews who died in Auschwitz than, say, Mein Kampf. If a naive 8-year old can get into the death camp just by crawling under the fence - just to play Explorers with a depressed-looking peer, who fails entirely to convince as a likely friend, mind you - then why was there not a whole series of successful escapes? This film is a simple vehicle built on the simplistic thought "What would those nazis have said if it had been THEIR children!" The story is pathetic, unbelievable, and - while beautifully filmed - deserving of the very lowest rating, because it has already convinced far too many people that it is based on true events, or has any important cultural qualities.
