A must-watch World War II movie...
Well, first of all, if you sit down to watch the 2021 movie "The Auschwitz Report" with the hopes of it being a classic World War II movie, then you are in for a rude awakening. This is not a war movie about troops fighting on the land, air or sea, no this is a movie about the two people that managed to escape the horror of Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp and compile a report about the location and the events that took place there.
"The Auschwitz Report" is a slow paced movie, but it is an entertaining movie nonetheless. However, I doubt that writers Peter Bebjak, Tomás Bombík and Jozef Pastéka's 2021 movie is one that will easily fall into everyone's liking though. And while the movie does take place in one of history's most vile and loathsome places, then director Peter Bebjak actually manages to keep the movie relatively free of the atrocities committed there, but at the same time you know very well about the horrors that took place.
I enjoyed this movie given the historical aspect to the storyline, and also because it was based on actual events.
The movie does have some good acting performances by the cast, though I were only familiar with John Hannah of all the actors and actresses that were in the movie. I will say that actors Noel Czuczor and Peter Ondrejicka definitely carried the movie quite well with their performances.
I suppose that a movie such as this is one that can be difficult for some viewers to sit through.
"The Auschwitz Report" is a movie that you have to watch if you have an interest in World War II, and especially so if you have an interest in the events that took place at Auschwitz-Birkenau.
My rating of "The Auschwitz Report" lands on a six out of ten stars.
