Lída Baarová

First of all, I just can't understand the 5.8 star rating of this movie. In my opinion it should be considerably more. The movie is very intriguing & captivating. You can't finish it until you see what happens next, and then after that. In my opinion - the movie kind of has everything. The movie is a deep depiction of how life and human relationships are not always so black and white. They can take very unexpected turns in many ways and lead you to very unexpected situations. It tells about achieving a huge success and it tells about losing practically everything. It tells about how situations can change very quickly & unexpectedly, one way or another. And not least importantly, it paints once again a very truthful picture of the unspeakable, horrendous, murderous hatred of the Nazis towards Jews - something we must never forget about.

Many of the one star reviews I've seen complain about Hitler and Goebbels speaking Czech, the language it was originally filmed in.

German is my second language, so initially abandoned watching this until someone pointed out Netflix offers a dubbed version. When I rewatched it in German, it was brilliant.

it's a conflicted story (how could anyone sleep with the Nazi's top propagandist?) which makes it interesting.

Like others here I don't understand the low reviews. The movie is subtitled, and sometimes people rate lower for that. I thought it was well paced and acted. I like WWII films; this is a good one.

This is a powerful, superbly done, compelling film, produced with that wonderful "European" quality that Hollywood never has been quite able to replicate. It's apparently a true story although, even being a war history buff, I had never heard of it. I suspect it may have been tarted up a bit for dramatic effect. If so, fine! It is a great and captivating couple of hours with brilliant cinematography and wonderful sets that capture the flamboyant Nazi pageantry of pre-war Germany. Most of the characters look real: Pavel Kriz as Hitler, Jan Lepsik as Himmler. But the key character, Joseph Goebbels, played by Viktar Preiss, looks nothing like the man. An intriguing snip of history most effectively converted to an engrossing movie.

Very poorly made. The leading actress was sooo bad. It was like a school project or something. And oh my... Hitler... Taika Waiti one looks more realistic.
