Let Me Go

This is a truly remarkable movie based on a true story with a screenplay that is beautifully written and manages to conjure multiple emotions for the viewers. The performances of the entire cast is amazing but the interactions between the leading ladies leaves one often holding one's breath in anticipation. With a backdrop of the most incredible photography, a film score that is rich and beautiful in content and amazing all round production this is a film that draws the viewer in from the first scenes and never lets go. A thought provoking film absolutely appropriate for today's world and quite simply a must see movie.

Polly Steele does a wonderful job of exploring the characters, their relationships with each other and the way each generation deals with the past and, without giving too much away, Helga's story gives a very different perspective of the impact of WWII.

A well written, directed and shot film with an excellent soundtrack that almost becomes another character, and definitely worth seeing.

Made you think a lot about how individual and family fortunes are forever impacted by involvement in major world events, when everyone else has moved on or forgotten. Very atmospheric locations and music. Left slightly curious about the role of other (male) family members who didn't feature - but maybe not that important to the main drama.

Let Me Go is a thoroughly engaging film which is both entertaining and at times shocking. It brings into sharp focus the enduring and absolute nature of human evil and its affect on future generations. The film is beautifully shot and the performances by Juliet Stevenson and Karin Bertling are stunning.

It has been a long time since a film has been able to make me re-think human attributes and wonder how my upbringing, actions and life has been formed by historical events. I give this film 10 stars because I left with fresh insight. The characters were well developed, authentic and suitably cast. There were many poignant scenes juxtaposed against the peace and beauty of the woods, London and Vienna.
