    Amazingly Unknown True Story

    True story concerning Polish Jewish child survivors of the holocaust brought to the UK after the WW2 and their adaptation to "normality". 75 years on and still revealing.

    Amazing

    Made me cry, what them poor children must have gone through and seen, great script and wonderful acting, a must watch

    Lucky for the unlucky ones

    It's really brutal for Jewish victims suffer from the Nazi era. The children scare of dogs, crave for a slice of bread, missing family who is alive or dead, bad dreams always. Again, it reveals the painful history of war brings to us. The movie execute nicely and not bored as mentioned by some reviews. As long as you have sympathy, you will enjoy the movie.

    Most Mature Biopic Movie Ever.

    This movie proved us that even movies which are paying tribute and kudos to some fellas can still be a masterpiece. This was amazingly directed with beautiful writing and cinematography. This is indeed a most mature and subtle biopic I have ever seen.

    Extraordinarily good

    Congratulations to the film-makers. Something original to my way of thinking. The brilliance of this movie cannot be underestimated. The feeling I got all the way through was that of getting the details right. Its astonishing how good the child actors were in their roles. Some of the early scenes are incredibly well done and the amount of thought that went into this is much appreciated. I want to describe in detail some of my favorite scenes but that may spoil your seeing it for yourself. I expect a lot of people who see it will rate it very highly and will be much better off for the experience.

    • Trivia
      The German documentary series ZDF history portrayed several of the one-time children. One of them is Bela, the "leader" of the bunch of three-year-olds who arrived at Windermere completely bewildered and totally speechless.
    • Goofs
      The bicycles, abandoned when the local boys are chased away from the fumigation, carry orange reflectors on their wheels. Such reflectors were introduced in Finland in 1960, so would not be present on bicycles during the late 1940s.
    • Quotes

      Oscar Friedmann: Unlike carpets madam, children are not improved by beating.

    • Crazy credits
      [caption, as footage of Chaim 'Harry' Olmer and the actor who played him are shown looking over Lake Windermere] Chaim's name was officially corrected in 1946. Seven years later, he was reunited with his sister.

    • How long is The Windermere Children?

    • Bela and her 4 or 5 friends were last seen hiding in the forest when they saw a small dog, but I don't think they're ever mentioned or shown again. Were they adopted out early?
