Le rapport Auschwitz

The viewer knows they have watched something beyond spectacular when, how it is portrayed doesn't mean as much, as the message that is given.

Such a pity that it took over 80 years for this story to come to light however, at least it did; and may the decendents feel proud, for this enlightment.

With an important story to tell and a strong cast "The Auschwitz Report" had the basis for a very good film. However, the many well-crafted scenes in the film never seem to gel as a coherent whole. The main flaws in the film are holes in sections of the script and awkward editing. The build up of tension in the plot seems to go nowhere, leading to a rushed and anti-climatic conclusion. Better films of this genre are "Schindler's List" and "The Counterfeiters".

Alfred Wetzler and Rudolf Vrba were heros. And this movie shows their struggles in very great way. Historical very accurate. After long time historical must see movie.

Great! Great! Great movie! I am passionate about German history, from Charlemagne to Merkel. But mainly I am passionate about the German 20th century including the study of the Holocaust, I have studied the subject for many years, I had not come across a film that described Auschwitz-Birkenau so well after having seen "The Son of Saul" another extraordinary film in this case from Hungary. Every detail of The Auschwitz Report is exciting and is an accurate story if you compare it with the 1985 testimonies of the documentary film Shoah by maestro Claude Lanzmann. What impressed me the most about this film was the light, an almost perfect art direction that makes you feel in the place without having to resort to computer effects. It is a 10/10 movie although it could add more points.

I have valued the film for the story it tells and not for things like photography, or the use of the camera, the actors who should be much thinner etc. As they say - "The only thing that is needed for the evil to triumph is for the good to do nothing." The speeches that are heard at the end of the film are supposed to be dated 1942-1946 or around that time, but I still hear many people say the same things today, which makes me think that the word " humanity "should be reassessed and questioned, since apparently we have not evolved much in the last 80 years.

Great story and sadly it actually happened.
