While the film has excellent shots, with the lighting and camera working to achieve full immersion, the spectacle tends to drown the story in gory details. For a domestic audience, this is a common theme and it can be considered passe, but it is a historic drama and should be viewed as such, especially as it shows the parts of the Holocaust that are not as familiar to foreign viewers.

Overall, this is definitely a movie that lovers of historic pieces shouldn't miss, as it tells a story that should be told. One might dismiss the story for the corniness and often misguided focus, but the events are based on facts and the general impact is quite emotional.

Never allow it to be forgotten, suffering of inocent people, especially children. Never allow to be hidden truth. Hope that this won't happen never again.

Jasenovac was a factory for killing the Serbs, but the worst thing about it are methods Ustashas used for it. It was a competiton between them who will find more brutal way of killing. For everyone that is interested in this topic you can find interviews of Nedeljko Goga, artist that was in Jasenovac as a kid.

This is a reminder that evil is perpetrated by both those that commit evil acts and those that do nothing.

My grandparents are from town Kozarska Dubica(near Jasenovac former Yugoslavia,today Bosnia and Herzegovina). Town they are from lost the most population in WWII. They told me so many stories that are so sad. May grand grand father was prisioner in Jasenovac. He servived all that eveil in Jasenovac. I belive in good people and i belive that this kind of eveil will never happen again but we cant forget all those inocent people that were killd by Nazi and By Independet Croatian state in WWII. All those who writte that this movie is not talling the truth are just so mean as those who commite the crime over inocent people. There is monumant and museuem in Jasenovac and also in Donja Gradina( also museum in Bosnia and Herzegovina) and there you can see so many pictures and books and then you will be awere what kind of crime Nazis and Crotians commited over inocent people. ( serbs,jewish and gypsis) may all you R.I.P

In nazi regime, so called "Independent state of Croatia" during the WW2. Any human being should watch this film.

I am struck by the truth, and this film is a truth about crimes that must not be repeated!!

Very good movie with a real history facts. Actore are perfect as well

I am just speechless after watching this movie . Incredible sad after watching what humans are capable to do. This move made me wonder why was Jasenovac story not published before ? Why the truth was hidden from the rest of the World

This is best movie of 21st century. That's it. I was really enjoy every moment of this masterpiece

I'll state the obvious, the flaws of this film are not as important as the message it sends. However, the directory of the film is quite poor. Scenes which should provoke fear and goosebumps are broken up and distasteful music was used, so some scenes did not reach their full potential. Also the time stamps were not confusing because there weren't any, so you're left to guess for yourself when's what happening. And lastly the acting. It must've been hard for the actors as they're all somehow personally connected to the story but from a critics view, the acting was very stiff. Not from all actors of course, but it felt like you were watching a film and you were not in the moment with them. But the cruelty of the war and the evil that was did come through in most scenes. All in all we should be glad that the film was made, but it could've been made loads better. Let's hope this is a breakthrough for more film makers in the Balkans to educate others what really happend.

This is a film difficult to watch without feeling for the victims upon whom so much violence was inflicted. The film tells about factual and yet mostly unknown parts of. WW2 which happened on Croatian soil by some Croations who contributed to the Nazi crimes during the war. The scenes of merciless violence would shock anyone deeply. Still there are people tring to survive the terror giving us hope about humanity. All throughout the film, I pondered about the question of crime, punishment and justice. I wonder if any of the perpetrators were brought to justice and how they could live their lives after inflicting so much pain. I personally think the film honestly tried to shed some light into the darkness of a part of history: However, it had some flaws in script and I found it excessively deamatic at some scenes. The ratings given to the film are quite exaggerated for reasons I think I understand. Finally, I can say this is a decent film about human vice and virtue. It is totally worth watching.

The great historical theme is very poorly presented.

In the name of remembering my grandmother who was a detainee in Jasenovac and who managed to escape. Her sister did not have that luck with 12 of her children who were all slaughtered in that horrible camp. My grandmother never talked about that time because she did not want us to hate Croatian people.

Really soul touching movie. Great script, great acting and correct use of historical facts.

Every word is superfluous. I can watch over and over...

Finally true will come out. After a years of silence hopefully world will come to know what's happened and learn lessons for the future. Never again war.

Story that has never been told before. Torments, deaths and devastation in the middle of II ww Europe.

Sad story about Serbian girl in concentration camp in Croatia. World have to see the truth.

Let's be honest here. Theme or general topic in the movie is so sad, something that should and must be respected, those sad sceneries, people suffering, being killed, punished etc. When we talk about that, this movie showed violence in such a realistic way, rating those things its 10/10. But, full assessment of the movie should include composition of the movie, storyline, acting, depth of the story and characters and talking about that, this movie lacks talent on some of the younger actors. Storyline is so shallow. fast paced and characters are not fully described, most of them just appear and disappear and emotions cannot be born in such a brief period of time. Director of the movie failed to bring us some story like in Shindler's list for example, and ending is... quite unsatisfying, somehow pointless. Pay respect to all the people that were killed and punished during WW2 in Ustashes prisons, but rating the movie, more than 7 is unrealistic.

A nice budget and support for the project of historical importance but poorly executed. A movie that should reflect on some of the worst atrocities in Balkans during WW2 has so little to tell. Uninventive, with no proper character development and most importantly - no good story and screenplay behind. Good actors and good camera could not do much for this movie not to be so flat.

A shocking true story that has been hidden for decades. Must see.

This was a hell on a earth. The movie is excellent, but you need a stomach for it, especially as its a real story. Gideon Greif, the Israeli expert for this subject called this camp of death as the worst one, as a real hell on the earth.
