    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.

    Moving, thoughtful drama

    Really enjoyed (if that is the right word to use?) this movie. To realise it was true really makes you think and feel sheer sorrow for these poor children. Well acted and portrayed. To see the real people at the end was a fitting finish to this movie. This should be the type of movie they should show, and discuss , at schools everywhere.

    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.

    Breathtaking

    As someone who's grandparents was a Windermere child, I have no complaints and only praise to speak of this masterpiece. Will definitely be a classic and I must say, Marek Wroblewski's acting was elite and he's definitely one to watch out for. Amazing experience.

    Disturbing but ultimately uplifting

    Did a great job of balancing the tragedies these children had endured against the well-meaning but often shockingly clumsy and insensitive attempts of the professionals at the centre to help them. Nobody could really understand what these children had lived through at first but the film dealt with this subtly. This film adds another interesting angle to the telling of the Holocaust story.

    Edit
    • 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?Powered by Alexa
